Lisa, I apologize for forgetting my settings and how I captured it. I was on a van shooting from the window while moving fairly slow. I used a Nikon D600 with 28-300mm lens at 68mm, ISO 800, 1/250s, f/9, -1.3 EV, aperture priority, Lightroom edited recently again with a 10% crop. |

Well done, Mike. I think you did a nice job enhancing the scene. Everything about it leads me into what you see and keeps me grounded within it to enjoy the textures, layers and tones. I like the image a lot. |

Wonderful image, Judith. I like it a lot. My only nit that it needs to be a bit darker at the edges of the frame to keep our eye within the image. My eye particularly want to wonder over to the left. A vignette, as Mike mentions, would help keep the viewers eye within the scene. |

Well done, Tom. I think your image is very good and captured the Egrets preening behavior very nicely. |

Wonderful scene, Lisa. I think you captured it well. For me though, and I see what Mike is suggesting similarly, that for me the tone is a bit flat. Some tone curve adjustment would help it punch it up a tad. Not too much, you are almost there in my opinion. |

Carol, I think you image is full of wonderful detail and has a very pleasing composition the leads me through the scene. I agree with Mike's approach as a better alternative for dealing with lights and shadows. I feel your image is a bit too bright on the left bank and that there is too much shadow on the right bank. I like shadow. I perhaps would keep some. But, that is personal taste. I find my eye pulling to the left, while in Mike's version I see everything without any visual impairment due to bright vs. shadow. Wonderful scene. |

Sharon, I like the color harmony for it is appealing and real. The focus and depth of field and nice reflection is very nice and tonally the image appears quite natural in terms of clarity and sharpness (nothing overdone). The composition, though, troubles me some. I find the foreground Tufas overbearingly central in the scene. My eye would like to see a more angular view so that I see the layers within the scene. I have not been to this site, but wonder if it would have been possible to move to your left so that the Tufas were more to the right in the frame and we could see more of the mountains which right now seem so overwhelmed by the Tufas that I have no sense of the relationship between both. Wonderful light, just not sure the composition works for me. |

Thanks for the comments. I will have to experiment some with getting the masts straight while maintaining the buildings vertical. |

Cool abstract. I think that opening of the shadows stretching worked. |

The textures, Stuart, and overall tonality are very good. I think the image doesn't work for me very well, since I don't know what to focus on given how busy it is with the varying elements within the scene. I also find it seeming to tilt some down toward the left. |

There is a fine story here, Stuart. I like how you composed and toned the image. Well done. I have no suggestions to offer to improve on it. |

Jerry, very nice image and seen so well. At first when I saw the image, I was a bit bewildered, but there was a lot of things going on and then I started to see the relationship of the reflective shadow to the backlit ceiling mounted subject. That is when I realized that everything worked together so nicely. Jerry Snyder has a point that I will speak too. I think that your captured could be brightened a bit. I found some areas a little darker in the mono version then the color version that could be lighten some. |

Don, captured this bird quite nicely and the tonality is beautiful. It is sharp and clear with everything supporting the bird nicely. Well done. |
