22 Jan 25 Comment Yes, it is hard to see or imagine. It is one of those things that you had to be there. Jan 19th
22 Jan 25 Comment Yes, you are both correct, but to describe this further, this bird deliberately wraps his neck in front of the chain link fence and then his beak underneat the link to his left. I saw him do it two times. Jan 17th
22 Jan 25 Comment Naturally Mike, you captured what you could with what you had. The scene leads our eye from foreground to background, but when we get there there is nothing and darkness. Perhaps, as Jerry suggests, you could superimpose a kayaker very easily or even superimpose a peaking sun just over the trees, but be sure it has a long reflecting line onto the water... In any case, you should be able to add a little color and brightening the back just a bit inPhotoshop.
For capturing Fall Foliage, an Enhensing filter can bring out the colors or even a polorizing filter can help a great deal, provided the sun is out and you are in the right angle. 		Jan 17th
22 Jan 25 Comment Yes, my first impression was: 'what a beautiful post card?'. You may consider the same treatment for our February project. A minor improvement you may consider is cropping out the building in the rear, which will give you more room in the front and give a little more room in the front. Jan 17th
22 Jan 25 Comment Yes, excellent action picture. Sorry, I disagree about the grass. I think it is part of the story. To improve the composition, I would consider a little more cropping from the left and top. Jan 17th
22 Jan 25 Comment Yes, I agree and I love the colors and the overall look. My eye is going all around to find the focal point to rest on. I think it is the large green cacti on the bottom left.My thinking is that with something like this, we need to find a main subject and then use all the other elements around for framing it. Then make sure there are no distracting elements around the edges; and even consider some kind of vignetting to hide the sins. Jan 17th
22 Jan 25 Comment Some of the advanced photographers feel that a poorly technical picture is better than no picture at all. Franklyn S Gould, FPSA use to say that a good picture was accepteble even if the technical aspect was poor. I love the framing on this. Cropping the top, a little brightening and sharpening the eyes only, should help this iomage a lot.
PS: I may be dating myself to the 70s and the 80s, but any of you knew Franklyn S Gould, FPSA?; Exhibitor, Judge and Presenter.		 Jan 17th
