25 Nov 24 Comment I agree with all the comments, especially the foreboding feel that the color lends to it. Following Eric's suggestion to add a small gray stroke, I took it into Photoshop and found, when I added a gray stroke, the color didn't even come close to blending with the color of the tones in the photo. So I played around with the stroke function until I found the color-picker and used the eyedropper to pick up a color from the photo. Then to illustrate it I added an black layer behind the photo so the stroke would be visible. I agree it definitely helps define the scene. If you click on the image in this comment you can see how it looks. See what you think. Nov 22nd
25 Nov 24 Comment What a great little bird! I would like to lose the rectangular branch on the lower left which attracts my eye. I tried just cropping it out, but that placed the bird pretty much in the center. So I continued cropping to return the bird to the "thirds" position. See what you think. Nov 21st
25 Nov 24 Comment I do like the Eric's edits, but would like to see a little more toning, perhaps with curves, to bring the brightness of the eyes up and the brightness of the tail down a just a bit to make the eyes draw focus. Nov 21st
25 Nov 24 Comment Great image. I do agree with the suggestions to increase the contrast a bit. Nov 21st
25 Nov 24 Comment Lovely image and story. Your crop and the lighting, especially the shadow on the foreground tree lead the eye right to the subject. Nov 21st
25 Nov 24 Comment Great image in all respects. I agree with Eric that a stroke would help focus our attention on the image. There is a way to do this in Photoshop, but I did a quick illustration by just pasting a shape in Preview on my Apple computer. Nov 21st
25 Nov 24 Reply That's a great suggestion. It was a very bright day and I never remember to use a vignette to keep the eye on the subject. Nov 20th
