I am most attracted to the bottom third of this image, with the vivid greens and the detail of the fantastically eroded forms, so my thought was to crop it for just that. I also applied the OnOne Dynamic Contrast filter to emphasize detai; |

Congratulations on your "pro" status!
You have a well composed photo and excellent interest here. I'm sure the paper got some very positive reader comments! |

Seven grasshoppers is a lot of grasshoppers! But when I zoomed in on the image, I realized how wonderful a job tou did in maintaining focus, while giving us that extra-creamy bokeh. I think concentrating on the top four grasshoppers still tells the story of how crowded this twig is, while better showcasing that sharp detail! |

What an action shot! I can only hope I can travel to South Africa some day, and when I do, I'll buy you dinner and pick your brain!
The shades of yellow, green and brown that predominate in this image are so very similar that I wanted to see how it would do as a B/W. Here it is in Silver Efex Pro with cropping, a green filter, extra contrast and vignettes added to emphasize the croc and darken the water.

This is a great subject and a great image. I think that one of the attractions and challenges of nature photography is our human need to impose some sort of order on the natural world. This photo has a subject placed at each of the intersections postulated in the 'rule of thirds', but the result is that my eye wanders in a circle seeking somewhere to stop. This may mean that you don't have just one good picture here, but maybe 2 or 3.Here's one, cropped from the upper right corner. I think that the diagonal composition of the flowers may be stronger than the circular one of the originl. |

Actually, when I prepared this image for a montage as part of our living room decor, I cropped it as a square, partly to fit the overall design, but also to further emphasize the power of the animal. |

I think this might be nicer if it was shot form a lowe angle, which would include more of the path and move the light house higher in the image. The compsosition is a bit too static when the lighthouse is centered vertically. |

Like the parallels created between the croc and the waters edge. |

Lovely image. I think that you might either take the contrast down a bit or raise the black point to get a little more shadow detail in the trunks and the back side of the right hand dune. |

Nathan, I'm going to guess that your IR camera is a Nikon, because the images are so red. It's almost impossible to set a decent white balance on a converted Nikon, and neither Lightroom or Photoshop can adequately adjust the balance. This accounts for the artifacts as well as the overly cyan grays and magenta highlights in this image. Nikon itself distributes a free adjustment software called Capture NX-2 that can do a good job of white balancing these images. Just Google the name and you should find the download site. |

You can get a good idea of the way this image looks in monotone from the original image. It is as boring as some of the other images that I and others have posted here. As I said, I was struck by the fact that the garden itself formed another world than the the one seen on the street outside. My creative choice was to create a spot-toned image (technically not a duotone), to isolate the world inside from the world outside. Since the bricks are red, that seemed the obvious choice to highlight the conflict. |
