15 Oct 24 Comment Isaac, wonderful! Between the luminance and colors, the bird and pond immediately under its foot are a great subject. But it could suggest a caption like, "How do I get swamp goo off my feet?" Oct 26th
15 Oct 24 Comment Kathy, Great pose of the bird! Even the catch light in the eye. The only thing I found distracting was the feathers under the beak. Looks like perhaps those breast feathers were too bright (possibly blown out?) and a luminance brush was used to bring back detail. That's impossible if the area is totally out of the raw luminance range of all 3 colors. If at least one color was still in range, it may be recoverable with a lighter touch on the luminance brush. Just a thought. Still a good photo! Oct 26th
15 Oct 24 Comment Pei-Fan, a beautiful shot of the bird and berries. My only suggestion (personal taste) would be to, while shooting, try to find an angle from which the background is far more separated. That's not always possible. Often, background can be separated by strong blur, contrasting luminance, or contrasting colors. But often not possible. Oct 26th
15 Oct 24 Comment Gloria, you presented the chick perfectly. The head is razor sharp, its body almost undefined, and the head contrasted against the black of the adult. And the adult, while present and also perfectly sharp, but only provides context without stealing the show from the baby. Wonderfully done! Oct 26th
15 Oct 24 Comment Sarita, I love your photo. The contrast between the bird body (including face and feet) being in perfect focus, and the background being totally out of focus moves your total attention to the subject. Perfect! Oct 26th
