Thank you Sharon. I appreciate the comments and will work on the image. I need to improve my jpg export technique. The PSA instructions say 'sharpen after resizing the original image but before saving for the web'. Do you resize in LR, then sharpen, followed by export as jpg? |

Thank you Ally for the suggestions. I was standing when I took the picture. I cropped it a lot to focus on its face, rodent, and of course that prancing paw. |

Thank you Ann, I can calm the orange/yellow colors down, I agree that would be an improvement. California has clay colored soil and we are 'crispy' dry right now. Everything looks too hot to me lately! |

I will use your recommendation to lower the highlights, thank you. AL Servo AF is a useful setting you may want to checkout. I handhold my camera more often than not. If I have a stationary subject I use a tripod, but in general, I am hiking and don't want to carry too much equipment. |

Thank you for the suggestions, as always, I apply them. I need to work on improving my skills in resizing and sharpening for export and emailing. For me, the images seem to get softer in the process. I was very excited to see a Grey fox versus a Red fox. Red fox are not indigenous and very common, almost a pest species in my area. The real prize would be to photograph a Sierra Kit fox. |

This is a very powerful and creative image. Your choice of a silhouette allows the viewer to imagine the animals strength. I agree with Ally that a bit of space for the lion to step into would be beneficial. The white-line around the bottom edge of the lion looks a bit bright to me compared to the top edge (might be my computer screen). Excellent background and sky as well. |

Wonderful image Judith, you are on your way to become a great bird photographer. Blue jays in your area are prettier than our west coast Scrub jays and Steller's jays. I think that you captured a moment where the jay is considering his options (kidding, but they are a very smart bird). I like the leaf framing around the bird. I agree with others that the brightness in the background could be decreased and perhaps a bit of sharpening applied when using the Topaz DeNoise might work. |

You captured a nice behavior in a lovely setting. For me the interest is in the two horses grooming each other. The horse's teeth munching the other horse's rump is fantastic. The other horses add context, but you might consider a tight crop with just the two and see if that works. Either way, this is very nice. |

I enjoy the wonderful yellow hairs on the bee in this image. One usually can't see the hairs when the bees are buzzing around. This image shows the bee's physical features nicely carrying a full load of pollen. Great colors in this image too. I agree with Mike and Ally that the stem at the top is a bit distracting. Great capture. |

Bald eagles are great subjects. I like this image in B&W, very dramatic and moody. You might consider allowing more space around the bird. To my eye, it looks tightly cropped. This is a very nice image. |

The image is just beautiful Sharon. You caught the humming bird just hovering over the flower with the wings expanded and the head and eye clearly visible. The symmetry and balance is so hard to achieve. The bird stands out nicely against that colorful flower and soft green background. I like Mike's suggestions. Lightening the lower right corner, just a bit, without dulling the dark green stem is a nice idea. |
