25 Mar 19 Reply The backgrounds were not negotiable. The three icicles were hanging in a cluster from an inside corner of my roof just outside our front door. The only way to isolate one from the other was to take them from different angles. Fortunately they are now melted away, but before they were gone they reached lengths of about four feet and a diameter of six to eight inches. Mar 24th
25 Mar 19 Reply I keep studying this one. I figured out that there is a car door, and actually while the paint looks blurry, the handle, key hole, window frame, and trim are quite sharp. Now I just have to figure out what the object in front of the car door is. Mar 13th
25 Mar 19 Comment What a delightful image! I marvel at the ingenuity of using the bush, and the way the shadows just happen to accentuate her eyes. The artist even put catch lights in her eyes, and enhanced the realism of the image by little things like the slight difference in size of her eyes. I think you did a wonderful job of capturing the scene. Mar 13th
25 Mar 19 Comment I think this is a wonderful study in the life and habits of the yellow jackets. You are right in that most of us would just sweep them away or douse them with something so we didn't have to worry about the. It is really interesting to see them at work without having to worry about having them fly into our face. I especially like the bits of used/discarded cells on the ground under the nest. Your image seems sharp but grainy. If you cropped that might account for that. Anyway, for me it's an interesting subject handled very well. Mar 8th
25 Mar 19 Comment I immediately thought the wing should be clipped even further down. I liked that you didn't break the rule of "not clipping right at a joint" but I thought clipping it further down, just below the joint and the longer feathers might look more "intentional" -- it didn't look right at all. So, at least for me, though it might have been even better with the entire wing, I like it the way it is. I think you did a marvelous job with the sharpness of the entire bird: beak, eye, talons, and feathers. And I really like the angle of the bird in the air. We just had a presentation from a bird photographer at our camera club meeting last night. He showed a lot of eagle photos from Lock and Dam 14 in LeClaire, Iowa, and your photo is right up there with the best of them. You're so lucky to be near that area. Our eastern Wisconsin bird photographers "flock" to the site frequently, but I've not been there yet. Mar 8th
25 Mar 19 Comment I really like the artistic feel of this image, and especially the shades of pale aqua tint on the subject. I like the way the weeds add to the feeling that the object has been there a very long time adding to the history of the image. But I would really like to know what the object(s) in the image are (or were). I also wonder why the part of the image that is sort of roundish just behind the weeds is softer focus than the parts surrounding it. For me, at this point, it is a beautiful abstract -- maybe that's enough for any image to be. Mar 8th
