Bill, I like your very elaborated recipe. It really made the rocks and formations stand out and made the sky more prominent |

Gary, another great architectural image full of lines and shapes, and I have to admit that you became a microsurgeon removing the tree from the frame. You were very successful in creating many shades going from white to black. The image is very sharp. Interesting vantage point. |

Vella, peak of action. The image is sharp, good PP. Looks a lot like a Great Blue Heron. Very sharp. |

Gloria, I find this image very interesting and with a small amount of mystery. The well dressed woman is entering the shadowed area which will make her less evident, and then we have the well illuminated building in the background which takes my interest as well. The shadows in the foreground add interest to the image. Image is sharp, and the colors are well handled |

Les, interesting crop as well as flip of the image. This makes the lady left handed though. |

Bill, again welcome to our group. Interesting illuminated building giving your Ottawa location. Your slow shutter speed allowed some blurring of the scatters denoting motion. I think that the bush in the right lower quadrant of the image is distracting and blocking one of the skaters, and probably you could have avoid by changing your vantage point |

Dan, as you describe her concentration is very obvious to retain equilibrium on the arranged stones tower. I like the instant that you clicked the shutter freezing her hands framing the top stones and her eyes are directly looking at them. The image is sharp and the background is completely non distracting. I was debating whether or not to crop the green backpack and the think in the right lower (my right) corner protruding into the image |

Les, great interaction of the father with his son. The flowing water of the fountain, and the falling droplets of the hand as the kid drinks balances the image. It is sharp. Obviously it was harsh light that you managed very well |

Roger, it is interesting as how the large velodrome structure overpowers the cyclist, but still keeps the content into context. The fact that the man is looking into the building adds interest to the image. It is sharp |

Bruce, interesting character and image. Obviously it caught your interest and of the young bystander man. The difference in size of the tattooed man and the little dog makes the image to have some funny component, not to mention the unconventional tattoos. The image is sharp and your crop made the composition |

Ronald, I did not preselected the speed. I probably moved the dial as I was shooting, or in between riders. Normally I keep the camera on auto ISO with limit and minimum speed. The new Nikon Z9 can handle very high ISO with very little noise |

Ronald, then even more remarkable indeed. I have very rapid reflexes and catch things before they hit the ground, but I do use rapid bursts but you have to know the behavior of your prey to anticipate. |

Gerald, the success of any action sport image is to be in the right vantage point. Peak of action, sharp, background in the context of the image, and as Bruce said, you can tell the anticipation in the face language of the bench players and the public |

Ronald, you not only got the ball on the tennis racket, but the player completely in the air. Peak of action. The only way to capture an image like this is by using a rapid burst. Image is completely sharp |

Hans, another of your images with a privileged vantage point. There is total eye contact with you. The image is sharp. I think there is too much space around her that is distracting. I cropped the image to make her stand out and still keep the context of the competition. The image is small so now there is some pixelation |

Bruce, this is literally to be at the right place at the right time and know how to use your tools. Excellent capture. Very sharp, and as Hans said, great separation with the other player. Peak of action with all 4 in the air |

Mary, great B&W interpretation of the winter Yellowstone landscape. Nice contrast and real whites and real blacks. The image is sharp. I see a path going from the left (my left) lower corner of the frame that leads my eyes towards the back on the right which is obscured by fog what gives a mystery feel to the image |

Bruce, great interaction of all the members of the family. The grey fox I presume is the male with a vigilant eye. While two kids are nursing, the third is cuddling with the mother. Perfect family portrait. The bokeh of the 800 mm wide open is unique. Sharp as it can be |

Randy, we are glad that you are back. Yes, the Z9 is a camera completely different and outperforms any previous Nikon professional bodies. I am also lucky I received mine early January and have been learning its brains. I like the image of the white egret in flight, and since you had the 500 PF wide open, the background is blurred and non distracting. Great sequence of images. I see a bluish hue on the white feathers which I just desaturated |

Marie, this image is nature at its best. The hawk with its kill. Not for people with a sensitive stomach. You captured the raptor at peak of action and enjoyment of its prey. The little green branch adds to the colors and composition. It is sharp and the snow is not overexposed or grey, and it shows detail. |

Adrian, you were lucky with the weather in the area. I have been there three times and only once the weather was good for photography of the volcano. I like very much the landscape orientation of the image with the different types of vegetation and a beautiful sky, but I think they overpower the volcano, which I think is the center of attention in this image. Additionally you had the gift of a conical cloud crowning the peak of the mountain (lenticular cloud). The image is sharp and the colors are well balanced. |

Ian, great image. In addition to what has been said, I like the fact that the white oblique line coming from the girl on the left seems to be pulling the right foot of the passerby |
