9 Sep 24 Comment This is a tricky one. I applaud you for getting the photo in the first place - right time, right place.

The car bothered me so I gave it a try.

9 Sep 24 Comment Beautiful image!
I love that you were able to spend that much time with strangers. Were they able to get copies of your images?

I went back and forth between your edited and original. I love your edited image. I am curious, it looks softer than the original. How did you achieve that, it gives it a romantic fairy tale quality!

9 Sep 24 Comment I also played a bit in PS trying to get a watercolor look. Sep 11th
9 Sep 24 Reply This is the original. I think I mostly cropped in LR. Sep 11th
9 Sep 24 Comment I think you made the best of a tough challenge. The garden in the foreground is lovely on its own and the tower in the back is very interesting.

Is this in Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square? Our photo club was just there in July. I did not see this :)

9 Sep 24 Comment This is a lovely shot! I think you caught the perfect lighting. Sep 7th
9 Sep 24 Comment I love this! I am drawn to old buildings so this especially speaks to me. I think your editing is great.


Only thing I might have tried a tighter cropped and removed the power line.

Great shot!

9 Sep 24 Comment Super cute! Total honesty - at first I thought it was Ronald McDonald's feet due to the yellow pants (you may not have McDonald's?) but since the shoes are yellow and not red I quickly corrected myself.

I love that you added the little suitcase, and the touch of grass under the shoes.

97 Sep 24 Reply I can't imagine that this photo was not accepted in a contest. I am sorry that I cannot come up with any advice as I think it is a great shot! Of course, I am more of a backyard photographer then a competition photographer. And all judges have their biases. Sep 11th
97 Sep 24 Reply There is an egret rookery not too for from here that takes a 45 minute boat ride to get to. I have been there once and loved seeing all the egrets in the trees.
We occasionally get egrets in the creek behind our house and I never see them up high, and a few places where I typically shoot, they are always down low. So it was fun for me seeing this guys up in a tree.
Interestingly, my dog does NOT like egrets. If she sees them fly over or in the creek she goes nuts. I don't know why. So if I do see one out back, I need to sneak out of the house to try to get a photo.

97 Sep 24 Reply Thanks. I do tend to like a wider crop :) Sep 11th
97 Sep 24 Reply Kathleen - I thought that too when I retrieved may camera settings to post- WHY DIDN'T I USE A LONGER FOCAL LENGTH???? I guess we will never know :) Sep 11th
97 Sep 24 Comment Tack sharp, great background - perfect shot! Sep 7th
97 Sep 24 Comment Great shot! You got his eyes and his wings fully spread. Very graceful! Sep 7th
97 Sep 24 Comment Beautifully done. I love that you were able to capture the bird with food in its mouth. Sep 7th
97 Sep 24 Comment Great image! I have never seen babies ride like this. Sep 7th
97 Sep 24 Comment Ron,
I LOVE this shot! I hope you have it framed and on your wall!


Going to 'Puffin' island is on my bucket list. Can you share a bit about your trip? Did you get a ton of great shots?
