4	Aug 24	Reply	Guy, good observation. I did correct the image according to your recommendations. I did not feel that Gary's will improve the image since making that line straight it would offset the lines and words at the upper portion of the image.	Aug 6th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Ian, I find this image interesting with everything but the eyes is 50 shades of grey. Her gaze is fixed at you. Image is sharp. I do not care about the halo look. It is part of the outfit which in fact is very elaborated.	Aug 6th
4	Aug 24	Reply	Gary, yes congratulations for your 50th anniversary. We celebrated 53 last February	Aug 6th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Erik, we have gone to that location for the skimmers. Never saw terns chicks. Perfect timing when the little fish has been handed to one of the chicks. I am curious about the shutter speed @ 1000 mm used. There is a little overlap of the parent's beak and the chick, but good definition.	Aug 4th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Vella, the critters were in a very colorful environment which adds considerable interest to the image. Al the prairie dogs I have seen are always in very dry land. Non distracting background.	Aug 4th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Bill, the dynamic range and colors of this image are superb. Very sharp and very straight. Nothing to suggest.	Aug 4th
4	Aug 24	Reply	Gary, interesting observations. Thanks	Aug 4th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Gary, great planning and excellent result. The guy that created photopills is a genius. Lovely image at the right time of the sunrise with the expected result according to your plan. Beautiful colors. Early bird pays off.	Aug 4th
4	Aug 24	Comment	Guy, perfect timing indeed. The people in the foreground add completeness to the beautiful landscape of the region. Perfect weather as well. Great colors. Sharp. There is complete separation of the observers.	Aug 4th

15	Aug 24	Reply	Kathy, the crop and its orientation goes against nature. The corndog look alike plants are always standing up. For practical purposes, it does not matter which way the bird is looking at. It is not a posed image.	Aug 19th
15	Aug 24	Reply	Kathy, yes I agree	Aug 15th
15	Aug 24	Comment	Sarita, this month we are on a Galapagos Islands State of mind. There is the the place in the world where you find most of the nesting blue-footed booby's. Good that you can see part of the egg. The image is sharp. Kathy's PP improved the image.	Aug 14th
15	Aug 24	Reply	Jerry if you have a suggestion as how to improve the image, you can do it and then post it. I just did	Aug 14th
15	Aug 24	Comment	Jerr, the red shouldered black bird is very common here in the wetlands of South Florida and standing on the typical vegetation that looks like a corndog. I added some light to the bird, and made the background slightly darker to make the bird stand out better.	Aug 14th
15	Aug 24	Comment	Gloria, indeed the great Frigatebird found his mate which is next to him, but he still is showing off with his blown red pouch. I like how he is embracing the female with his wings like posing fro the photo.	Aug 14th
15	Aug 24	Comment	Jim, nice pair of Mergansers. Lots of reflections in the water that perhaps could have been avoided somehow using a polarizing filter, which is always in the wrong place and not with you when needed.	Aug 14th
15	Aug 24	Comment	Pei-Fan, the golden hour illumination enhances the image. It is sharp. I do not mind the green foliage at the edge. As always, it is in the eyes of the beholder.	Aug 14th

58	Aug 24	Comment	Bruce, the intensity of the face language on this operator is what makes the image. As you can see, there are several ways as how to interpret the crop. This is my take done from the original image and adding light to the operator.	Aug 26th
58	Aug 24	Comment	Ed, this is an example of lens reflexion when the light hits directly the glass and creates that cloud effect which is called lens flare. I can relate to the image since I have been in that position more times that I can count, waiting for something to happen, and of course obstructing the right of way for the walkers. As Bev said, here in South Florida we have two wetlands with a built in walkway that looks like that.	Aug 14th
58	Aug 24	Comment	Pinaki, this is a great image. Indeed the main subject is the children that are having a great time playing the middle eastern drums and minding their own business. My view for the crop is even tighter to center the attention on them being off center as well.	Aug 14th
58	Aug 24	Comment	Bev, I am not sure if this image really applies for street photography and the fact that you know or not the photographer does not make any difference. The fact that you amputated the arm of the woman in the front also goes against the image. I agree with Sergio that you should not change the background since it takes away the real essence of street photography as is.	Aug 14th
58	Aug 24	Comment	Kathleen, you have shown us again your particular style of Street Photography and your choice of the quasi sepia tone. The reflection on the wet ground really makes this image. I like Ed's crop since it removes part of the distracting large building which competes with the main subject. Well done	Aug 14th
58	Aug 24	Comment	Sergio, great image full of mystery. Kind off Alfred Hitchcock style. The buildings in the background give a hint of location. Lots of lines, lights and shadows. Good exposure. Very good B&W interpretation. I am sure it took some planning, time and patience.	Aug 2nd

59	Aug 24	Comment	Hans, great image, sharp, nice contrast with the blue sky, but it lacks context since you can not determine how high from the ground the biker is.	Aug 14th
59	Aug 24	Comment	Bruce, the lady goalie is in a very good physical condition indeed. Saved by the arch. Great image.	Aug 14th
59	Aug 24	Comment	Don, sharp image at peak of action. I like the contrast of the water colors and the sided sunlight. Image is sharp.	Aug 14th
59	Aug 24	Comment	Ronald, nice silhuette of the skydiver. The color of the sky enhances the image. I think a tighter crop makes the subject stand out better.	Aug 14th
59	Aug 24	Comment	Gerald, indeed an unusual amount of air planes in an airshow at the same time, and of course showing the colors of the Italian flag. Nice formation and is a sharp image.	Aug 14th

72	Aug 24	Comment	Chris, impressive closeup of the wasp. First time I see one. Thanks for the interesting information about them. The detail is amazing. Perfect background. Sometimes, we become so picky that we overlook the greatness of the critter.	Aug 19th
72	Aug 24	Comment	Barbara, the Hawk is on a stand by attitude looking for lunch. It is interesting when you observe them and they move their head from side to side. It is said that they do that to calculate the distance. The image is sharp and I added some contrast and clarity. Your crop made the bird stand out in the frame.	Aug 9th
72	Aug 24	Comment	Maria, at first these critters look like a hummingbird, until you realize that they have no long beak, but a proboscis, and yes they are as fast as the birds. The image is sharp and shows the moth in action. Your PP brought out detail and color.	Aug 9th
72	Aug 24	Comment	Bruce, it is well known the close relationship of these big animals and the birds that feed from their ticks. The illumination is very soft giving to the image a sense of being ethereal. I adjusted the image with the black slider and gave a little light to the shadows.	Aug 9th
72	Aug 24	Comment	Adrian, it is always fascinating to me to watch these big mammals (yes breathing air, having hair, giving birth to live young, producing milk, and being warm-blooded) pretending to be a big fish. It is normal to watch birds flying by since when the whales feed there is a lot of left over that scapes hair-like bristles in their mouth to sieve prey from the water. Your image is sharp and well cropped. I am attaching one of my similar images created in Antarctica a few years ago.	Aug 9th
