Hi Isaac - This is a wonderful image that doesn't need words to tell the story. I do agree however, with Doug's suggested clarification of this image to make your story far more powerful. There is so much to look at - and shoot - in this fascinating place, it's hard to have camera settings ready to shot each exciting shot as it presents. |

Spectacular capture, Doug! Everything that matters is sharp and clear. Your depiction of this intriguing bird demonstrates a fascinating phenomenon - as its breeding beak is getting ready to drop off. I wouldn't change a thing in editing, but would consider reaching out for editorial opportunities to add this image to articles about this Tufted Puffin species.

WOW - Gerhard - Gear matters - as does the expertise to use that gear to its best advantage! Interested in the brands of lens and camera body. That being said, this is a drop-dead gorgeous image! Sharp, closely-cropped (?) and well-executed. I can almost hear the splash when this hamerkop grabs his prey. Nicely-cropped, too - I wouldn't change a thing. |

Gloria - It's always fun to revisit old images! No matter your camera or skills at the time. This is a special image, capturing a rare species up close. The details are fairly sharp and the image is nicely balanced with the curve of the bird centered. For your consideration, I suggest removing the background branch and sticks on the right side of the bird's body to focus more attention on the bird itself. |

Hi Adi - How wonderful to arrive to such a majestic welcoming scene! Western haze is often an issue these days from smoke and/or atmospheric conditions. Although your mountains look realistic, they are so much more dramatic sans that haze. Juxtaposed against your sharp foreground, it is a challenging - although realistic - contrast. For your consideration, you might try adding a bit of sharpening to the peaks, and/or possibly cropping a bit of foreground (including the one dead tree in center). |

I like the soft, atmospheric approach you've used here, Barbara - I can almost hear the leaves rustle. Rustic old structures always make me want to try a B & W approach, too. For your consideration, I've suggested a higher-contrast B & W version, but I think I like your image better. |

Hi Bill - What a lovely spot - definitely a pano needed to capture the largesse of this area. On my monitors, your image seemed to have a bit of blue cast. For your consideration, I gave a little tweak to the white balance to warm the image as it appears to be a mostly sunny day. I also suggested a short crop off the right side to focus more on the sailboat motoring out of the harbor |

Right place, right conditions, right photographer! Larry - you have a great knack for creating colorful nightscapes, and this image is no exception. Well worth the time invested (and luckily no gator bites)! Consider offering this image to FPU for a compelling catalog cover! Your work is very inspiring and I keep looking for water-focused setups where I can try night reflection shots. I've yet to find anyplace nearby, but will keep looking. |
