Thanks! I think it helped that I didn't want to move around for different compositions so different shutter speeds was the change I could easily experiment with. |

Glad to be here! I will definitely work on bringing up the shadows and like the idea of using separate masks. I will look out for "black holes" because I have a feeling they sneak into my images quite often. |

I actually have an image with a sunburst. I haven't had a chance to edit it yet. The sunburst was on the very right edge of the island, so I didn't like how bright the right side of the image is compared to the dark left side. Once I have time, I will work on the image & see if I can get it to a place where I like it. This beach is jokingly called ankle breaker beach and is not the most fun place to navigate. I am glad I found a spot to take this image (& not get wet from the waves of the lake). |

Wow. I love the lighting in this photo and you captured so much expression on the lion's face. I am torn about the elimination of all of the flies. I know it makes a cleaner image, but I lean towards wanting to reflect what I actually see. I would have definitely eliminated the ones flying because those are very distracting, but I might have considered leaving a few on the lion's back, mainly in the shadowy part. This is, of course, personal preference. |

I agree with your choice expand the space, especially the top of the image. I feel like with how the bird is posing having space above it in the image feels right. I think this is a great image, even if the scene isn't always people's favorite. I cannot think of any suggestions for changes or improvements. Great work! |

Bruce, this image is stops me in my tracks. The golden light is beautiful. The rays from the top, the golden rim light, and subtle background surrounding the Saguaro cactus feel well-balanced & cohesive. To me, you have the right amount of details seen in the Saguaro cactus. I like being able to see a hint of the lines of needles pointing up the sun rays. I might consider a slight crop, I have attached my own version. The plant on the right is a little distracting to me. I feel like it might be because it is more similar to the subject than the rest of the background. Another option would be to consider removing it because you would lose a little bit of the sun rays on top with a crop. |

Hi Larry! My first thought upon seeing the image was "look at this guy!" because how can you not look at a bird when it is ruffling & shaking its feathers. With the blue sky, I can tell this was shot on a sunny day. I feel like the amount of shadows you have feels well balanced and feels very natural. I didn't think to remove the whole second branch like Bruce suggested, but I was going to suggest removing the tiny spot of blue in the corner. Great image! |

Hi Cindy! Your image captures my attention because clearly these elephants are doing something. Without your story providing context (& my limited knowledge of elephants), I would be left wondering what they were doing, which is a good thing because I would be thinking about your image! I absolutely love the dust coming off their backs. I feel like it provides balance because the dust is coming off the outside of each elephant. This might be me being way too picky, but above the left elephant there is a fly in the dust. I would suggest considering removing it. Once my eyes landed on it, they just kept going back. Most people might not notice though! I would consider adding a subtle vignette to bring the viewer's eyes into the center of your image. |

This is my most recent shot that I am proud of so hopefully I didn't set the bar too high for myself with future submissions. Thank you for the kind words! I feel like I struggle to know how much to bring up the shadows in the rocks. I don't want the viewer to get stuck at looking at only the rocks. The shadows on the left side probably could have been brought up a bit. Appreciate the feedback! |
