Group	Round	C/R	Comment	Date	Image
4	Jun 24	Comment	Erik, nice reflection in crystal clear water with no signs of movement. Nice colors improved by Guy. Image is sharp.	Jun 8th
4	Jun 24	Comment	Gary, I have done the same to photograph high ceilings, and people around look at you as if you have lost some of your marbles. Incredible DOF being everything in focus front and back. Great image indeed.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Reply	Guy, you did not upload the file with the added vignette.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Comment	Ian, I second Guy at saying that I have never seen anything like this. You can find a one person taxi but mainly using regular motorbikes or a bicycle, but not a vespa with its complementary wagon. The flag in the passenger section is from Italy, so makes you wonder if the owner rides all over Europe. Image is sharp.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Reply	Guy, once I did ride a Vespa, and yes the first few meters the whole thing was kind of wobbly until I got my equilibrium right.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Comment	Vella, nice image depicting mother and child love. Perhaps the young one is finding his way into the mothers feeding apparatus. The image is sharp. The colors are well balance, and they are in their environment (you did not provide any info about location and metadata). I second Guy in hoping your husband is doing better now.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Comment	Bill, what a magnificent building, and thank you for the additional images and the video related to it. Great vantage point indeed, and selection of the time of the day and angle. Very sharp.	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Reply	Agree with your interesting and elaborated PP	Jun 5th
4	Jun 24	Comment	Guy, beautiful landscape, with a wide green meadow. Interesting as how the short bridge with the boardwalk looks out of place, however; working as a leading line taking our eyes to the little church in the back. Nice sky. Image is shrap and the colors are vivid.	Jun 5th

15	Jun 24	Comment	Jerry, welcome to group 15 all about birds. The image is sharp and the bird in a nice pose with a soft non distracting background.	Jun 21st
15	Jun 24	Reply	Jerry and Kathy, now is even better.	Jun 19th
15	Jun 24	Reply	Yes, those are matting season colors	Jun 18th
15	Jun 24	Reply	I just uploaded the original out of camera. They were in a nest high on the trunk of a dead palm tree.	Jun 14th
15	Jun 24	Reply	Sarita, now to me it looks like a flying fish on the image. All the birds are out hoping for a free lunch. Let others do the job....	Jun 11th
15	Jun 24	Comment	Kathy, the snowy is just taking off. Nice the way the clouds frame the bird against the blue sky. Image is sharp.	Jun 8th
15	Jun 24	Comment	Sarita, you created the image at peak of action. The bird in the front is speeding away to protect his catch. The one in the back wants a "free lunch". The birds are sharp and there is plenty of space to fly into.	Jun 8th
15	Jun 24	Comment	Pei-Fan, nature at its best showing the adult feeding the chicks. I am not familiar with this species but I investigated the scientific name you provided, and in reality it is a Crested Goshawk, not an eagle. The image is sharp, and the background is well handled.	Jun 5th
15	Jun 24	Comment	Jim, Roseate Spoonbills are very colorful birds to photograph and on the to do list of all bird photographers. The image is sharp. I think that the pink color could be helped with some saturation to make the birds stand out from the background.	Jun 5th

58	Jun 24	Reply	Ed, interesting interpretation indeed.	Jun 19th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Ed, I like the B&W interpretation of the image since the strong contrast of light and shadow in the grass is more subdued. The image really expresses the title selected. I think that there is too much empty space that is not adding anything more. This is my take on the crop.	Jun 8th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Kathleen, The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin is a sensitive place to photograph. I think that the amputated person in the foreground is part of the composition and the story, creating the feeling of tension, incomplete information, and curiosity of what is going on, and what all these big concrete elements are all about. A lot of people create selfies at the site, and an artist put together a group of these images and combine them with real archive photos of the holocaust and called it "Yolocaust". (sensitive material that could offend some people) https://www.demilked.com/holocaust-memorial-selfies-yolocaust-shahak-shapira/	Jun 5th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Bruce, The bride's face expression makes this image. She does not look very happy at all, perhaps having second thoughts. The concern language expressed by the other two women complement the main subject. Good composition.	Jun 5th
58	Jun 24	Reply	Or perhaps they just frame the main subject ?	Jun 5th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Pinaki, image denoting tranquility, in fact the sitting man looking at the cat is the main subject. The plants on both sides frames them and work as leading lines towards them. Nice colors. Image is sharp.	Jun 5th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Bev, this is a very lovely image showing the strong relationship between grand parents and grand children. Thhey are sharp. I see that you tried to blur the background, but it is very obvious, specially around the girls head, which becomes a distraction.	Jun 5th
58	Jun 24	Comment	Sergio, interesting juxtaposition of images created by the multiple reflections, and the the kid with the white ballon stands out (main subject). The adult next to him/her is wearing dark clothes which makes him blend with the confusion. There is a lot to see in this image so keeps my eyes busy, but always coming back the the main subject.	Jun 5th

59	Jun 24	Reply	Gerry, I used the full capacity of that camera the Nikon D4 of 11 frames/second. I overlapped all of them and using layer masks only opened the images that were not overlapping (7 of the 11). Both iterations are interesting. Thanks	Jun 28th
59	Jun 24	Comment	Bruce, once again, what can I say to make this image better. It fulfills the requirements for a great sport image: ball and eyes visible. Both players in the air.	Jun 11th
59	Jun 24	Comment	Don, good timing given by the ball in the air, and both legs framing it without touching the ball. Peak of action. Sharp. Not distracting background.	Jun 11th
59	Jun 24	Comment	Hans, peak of action image. Indeed the face expression of the player with the ball makes this image. Great vantage point. Three players is a good number (rule of odds). Image is sharp.	Jun 5th
59	Jun 24	Comment	Gerald, you always select the right vantage point. Yes, the leader is smiling indeed. I will choose the middle image just with the red cones. The completely cropped image is too tight creating tension all over.	Jun 5th
59	Jun 24	Comment	Ronald, so this fire balls are used to fry the chicken ?? (KFC label on the ground). You captured the peak of the fire on a dark stadium. I still do not understand about photographic equipment allowed for our hobby (or trade in some). Max 8 long inches lens ??. Interesting and difficult to get image.	Jun 5th

72	Jun 24	Reply	Chris, you are allowed to make the suggested changes to the image. Right click on it, download to your computer, do the changes and upload it again. This goes for everybody.	Jun 19th
72	Jun 24	Comment	Maria, interesting critter. This is the first time I know about them. The Five Spot Burnet (Zygaena Trifolii) is a day-flying moth found in North Africa and Europe. Great capture and very sharp. I took the liberty of darkening the background and cropping so it ends up with five of the leaves of the bush it is holding to. This way the critter stands out better.	Jun 18th
72	Jun 24	Comment	Chris, indeed you were able to create a beautiful landscape with everything in focus from the closest front to all the way in the back. I like the way you composed the wood log into the frame creating a strong leading line, even after bifurcation, into the grass and pine trees in the midground, complemented by the snowed peaks in the background. Good management of the illumination.	Jun 12th
72	Jun 24	Comment	Adrian, this species is also called maroon langur. As you stated, they are are endemic to Borneo but can also be found in Indonesia and Malaysia. They get the name from their shaggy reddish-maroon fur. They are herbivorous primates. The image is sharp. I just added a little saturation to the fur, and darkened slightly the background.	Jun 5th
72	Jun 24	Comment	Bruce, to complete your label, it should be El Zorro Negro (black fox). He is looking at you and with illuminated eyes (are you tasty?). The soft meadow around him make the image more pleasant and non distracting. Very sharp.	Jun 5th
72	Jun 24	Comment	Barbara, the young bear looks interested in the vegetation in front of him which frames him/her. The image is sharp. Good crop placing the main subject in the rule of thirds. Background non distracting.	Jun 5th

91	Jun 24	Comment	Jerry, I have seen the anhinga chicks getting fed, but never two a the time. Interesting that I think the parent in this case is the male. Normally the females are beige in color at the upper body. You did a very good job with your PP.	Jun 21st

97	Jun 24	Reply	Well Roy, this is a different story for sure. Your presented image has a lot of distracting and confusing elements and overlaps, now you are down to business. Great image.	Jun 21st
97	Jun 24	Comment	Roy, I have been there twice and it is very difficult to obtain a good image, first because the are is marked and you can not come closer, plus the fact of the big number of birds and the pandemonium of flying in and out with food for the chicks, it is almost impossible to isolate an event.	Jun 21st
