29 Oct 17 Reply I thought about cropping it, but I felt that the tree, being where the bird was nesting, was as much a part of the story as the bird, so I left it as you see it. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Reply These birds really have very little "color". They're almost monochrome in that respect. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Comment While this may be an A&W shot, it brought to mind many nights at the Hot Shoppe for me. One of a very few photos that have undergone "treatment" that I like. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Comment Good eye Tam! Like Karen, I think the house makes the image. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Comment Like the image, but like it much better with Jim's change. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Comment I like the image. The fog gives it a kind of ethereal feel and the coast presents nice lines, good color and sharpness to contrast against the filmy fog.
Following your conversation here with Jim, the two of you have hit on the reasons why I have not, and do not intend to, enter any of my images into judged competitions. I've seen them, from the first one I witnessed, as simply subjective personal assessments.

29 Oct 17 Comment I get the idea, but the blown out sun just ruins the whole shot for me. Oct 11th
29 Oct 17 Comment I was about to give up when I realized the man appears to be mostly a silhouette! Maybe it was finishing the wine in my glass that got me over the top???? Interesting concept. I'm not sure it works? Oct 11th

60 Oct 17 Comment Nice composition, really good colors, sharp. Don't see anything I'd be inclined to change. Oct 22nd
60 Oct 17 Comment Feel like I'm viewing a watercolor, which I'm guessing was your objective. I think you definitely achieved the etherial feeling you were after. Great color! Oct 22nd
60 Oct 17 Comment Thanks Ginger! I don't know the actual distance I was from the bug, but I'd guess it was somewhere between 4 & 6 inches. One thing I've learned from increasing my use of the macro lens is that most insects really don't care what I'm doing as long as I'm not interfering with their pollination activity. I get REALLY CLOSE sometimes and they don't move. The exceptions are the butterfly class, who are really skittish. Oct 22nd
60 Oct 17 Reply Thanks Lou. I normally only spend time in the Macro section of The Hog, where everyone is cooperative and helpful, albeit with some pointed humor between long-time posters. The first time I posted there I was mildly admonished for not using a flash. I confessed my ignorance about that and about how to outfit my camera and got some immediate help that led me on a buying spree (at very reasonable cost) and I've been using flash for macro shots ever since. I find myself pulling out the macro gear a lot more. Oct 22nd
60 Oct 17 Reply Thanks, Carol. I find it exceeding difficult to try to do macro captures of insects other than handheld. I was schooled on an off-camera flash rig by a guy on the Ugly Hedgehog macro site. It works really well for me. Oct 15th
60 Oct 17 Reply Thanks, Bev. I'll have an APB posted in Boynton in the spring! Oct 15th
