32 Jul 17 Comment This is a great pose, and good lighting on the egret. I think you should work on it more. See what the others say, but I am always for selecting the background and darkening it. In this case, I would not recommend my usual solid black because the context is good. The two branches crossing in front of the bird, I would not try to eliminate, because they contribute to the context.
I particularly like the backlighting behind the wings--very unique.		 Jul 10th
32 Jul 17 Comment Very good job with the clouds; and also with the vertical correction--I assume you did that in PS. You have novel compositions--this one is interesting because you shot only the top half of a building. That composition, plus your angle, and the pointed design of the building, all give the impression of a bird flying. I am reminded of Brancusi's "Bird in Space." Jul 10th
32 Jul 17 Comment Always an interesting subject for me, since our oldest daughter has been an equestrienne since she was eight years old. Very nice, to shoot a pure white horse. It helps the subject stand out from the background. Jul 9th
32 Jul 17 Comment Carol, this is quite a piece of work! You know how I like to do interpretation. So here goes. What is the significance of these particular Psalms to you? Is there a linkage between the subject of these Psalms and "going to church"? If you have included a pen, how about showing some underlining or annotations in the Bible, like "I must remember this every day of my life," in the margin. Jul 7th
32 Jul 17 Comment Lynne, this is a very nice composition, and I think the vignette is very effective. Would you tell us more about the lighting situation? Where is the light source? Is it diffuse or direct? Is the right flower front-lit or back-lit? How is it that the background is so dark--was that the situation, or did you do that in post-processing? Everything looks very sharp at f/8--what was the focal length of your lens and how far were you from the flowers? Jul 7th
32 Jul 17 Comment Nice juxtaposition of two people so differently dressed as they walk along together. I would cut off a bit more from the top (half the shingled room), and about 1/3 from the left, so that the acute angle of the white line in the middle of the road exactly meets the lower left corner of the frame. Jul 7th
