97 Nov 23 Comment Wow, I love the vibrant swirly background with the little
Wood duck and reflection. Sometimes surprising proportions look very artistic to me which is the case here. I might lighten the wood duck just a little to bring out more detail.

97 Nov 23 Comment I also have photos of woodpeckers on tree bark and love the added interest of vines. The small green leaves nicely complement the woodpeckers stunning red cap. I might remove a few of the vertical 'twigs', especially near its head. Gorgeous image! Nov 7th
97 Nov 23 Reply Thank you! Nov 6th
97 Nov 23 Reply Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Nov 4th
97 Nov 23 Comment Florida is now on my bucket list! The dark green mangroves are a perfect backdrop for the gorgeous pink birds. The shapes are perfect with the spoonbill taking the lead! Getting this perfect image takes lots of patience, skill, dedication and a little bit of luck!:) Is it possible to focus stack like this in Lightroom? I know I can stitch panos and HDR images. Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Comment You definitely caught the decisive moment!! Really stunning and fun photo. The cormorant's eye looks like an emerald! I too wonder about the water color and how you captured the amazing red reflections? Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Reply I have not mastered birds in flight either, but it's fun trying! :) Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Roy, for your detailed explanation, very helpful! I've seen similar selective darkening in lightroom tutorials and now will have confidence to give it a try when an image calls for it. Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Reply I love your image of the Red-necked Avocets. The variety of wing positions really give a feeling of movement and the contrast of the blue sky makes for a beautiful image! We have American Avocets in our nearby wetlands. Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Comment Nice shot of the Red-shouldered Hawk. We have them along the American River. I like how it is keeping an eye you! :) I try to wait for them to fly but sometimes they stay still for a very long time! Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Reply I like it! It makes the quail stand out a bit more. Did you mask with the brush to darken it or maybe choose background? I use Lightroom. Nov 3rd
97 Nov 23 Comment Thanks Kathie! Point Reyes National Seashore is located on the west coast of California, north of San Francisco. Nov 2nd
