4	Jul 25	Comment	Gary, interesting combination of lines and curves framing the color glass. It is evident the work you put into obtaining a very symmetric image. Good PP bringing out all the color and details.	Jul 15th
4	Jul 25	Comment	Ian, great landscape composition with foreground with the swans, midground with the water and ducks and background given by the houses. I am not sure about the crop an did, perhaps try to remove it instead, since now there is tension at that border.	Jul 8th
4	Jul 25	Comment	Guy, this locomotive has reached its age of service for sure. It looks in pretty good condition. The colors contrast is great as you mentioned. Very sharp. The presence of the machinist adds a lot of interest, and of course the smoke out the chimney.	Jul 8th
4	Jul 25	Comment	Bill, it tells a story. For sure your PP made the helmet the center of attention. Very sharp.	Jul 8th
4	Jul 25	Reply	Guy, you can see the silhouetted person just bellow the circle of fire.	Jul 5th
4	Jul 25	Comment	Vella, it is looking at you. Lucky you were in a boat, however jaguars are not afraid of the water, and he/she was not hungry..Image is sharp.	Jul 4th
4	Jul 25	Comment	Erik, "Dolce per non fare nulla", Italian for sweet to do nothing !! This image makes me smile. To be in the right place at the right time has its rewards. This is a very unique image.Congratulations for your hunter eyes. Yes, it is sharp.	Jul 4th

15	Jul 25	Reply	Grace, a picture is worth a thousand words. When you make a suggestion, it is allowed to perform them on the image and upload it. This way we can have a real visualization. BTW, I like very much nature's gift of a giant soft box light.	Jul 23rd
15	Jul 25	Comment	Sarita, I like this image very much. The elegance and colors of the adult are impressive, and the riding chick tell the whole story and becomes the central point of interest. Your wait paid off.	Jul 8th
15	Jul 25	Comment	Grace, the wood duck to me is the most precious and elegant of the ducks. He is posing for you. It is sharp and the colors are vivid. I think the portrait crop (original) brings out more interest showing the fine details and taking away the distracting background.	Jul 8th
15	Jul 25	Comment	Jerry, this is a great white egret. Indeed he/she is debating what to do with the critter which to me looks like a shrimp. The crop is good and the background is nonn distracting.	Jul 8th
15	Jul 25	Comment	Gloria, good capture of the BIF. Sharp. nice colors and the mild back light enhances the birds shape. I am going that way next month.	Jul 8th
15	Jul 25	Comment	Gerhard, very interesting image, but too busy. The presence of so many vultures competes with the stork. The image is sharp and the colors are well balanced. I agree with Dough about a little more space above the stork wings, and more water for reflection. Using the magic of Photoshop generate feature and cropping some of the vultures behind the stork, this is my rendition.	Jul 5th
15	Jul 25	Comment	Dough, WOW indeed. Peak of action, very sharp, great position of the wings with no obstruction and perfect non distracting background. Well done.	Jul 5th
15	Jul 25	Reply	"where they tuck their feet away", interesting point !!	Jul 3rd

58	Jul 25	Reply	Bruce, I also liked the way the guy has his left hand inside the girl's right pant back pocket.	Jul 21st
58	Jul 25	Comment	Bruce, indeed this couple is engaged in singing and expressing their feelings with their body language and gesture. The image is sharp, and I like the subdued illumination.	Jul 15th
58	Jul 25	Comment	Pinaki, in spite of the fact that we can not see the faces of these Nuns, we can presume that they are very interested and involved in viewing the art, given by their body language. The Nuns are sharp, and the background is slightly blured but we can see all the detail of the art. I did crop the bright door or frame on the right (my right) since it is very distracting pulling my eyes that way.	Jul 15th
58	Jul 25	Comment	Kathleen, good rendition and you sharp eye made the image, observing the lady in green still, and the people around moving. She is the central point of interest for sure. I cropped some of the distracting surrounding which does not add to it.	Jul 8th
58	Jul 25	Comment	Bev, your vantage point was very low, elongating the dancer. The ground and background is completely off. The sky becomes a very nice backdrop. I made the background more straight.	Jul 8th

59	Jul 25	Reply	No, I have never been to Brazil. Actually, I can speak Portoñol (a little Portuguese and a lot of Spanish). Google translate does an excellent job.	Jul 22nd
59	Jul 25	Reply	Andre, they have this ridiculous rule that you can not enter the venue as an spectator with a lens longer than 8 inches.	Jul 22nd
59	Jul 25	Reply	Ronald, this is a very good option as well.	Jul 15th
59	Jul 25	Reply	Don, I like this image better	Jul 15th
59	Jul 25	Comment	Don, great action shot for sure. The image is sharp in the foreground swimmer. The separations frame both swimmers. I just wonder if you have the "next frame" where the arm of the background swimmer would be in the image completely. Pretty sharp for only 1/500 sec @ 600 mm.	Jul 9th
59	Jul 25	Comment	Bruce, the soccer master. There is no better result than a prime long lens 400 mm f/2.8. Three japs vs one swiss. Peak of action. Sharp.	Jul 9th
59	Jul 25	Comment	Gerald, indeed your vantage point was perfect, creating a good peloton with separation of all the riders. I am also curious to see Bruce's crop suggestion. My guess is that he would eliminate some of the wires above. This is a tighter version than 16x9. The image is sharp. Perhaps giving a little more space in the front would have additional space to ride into.	Jul 9th
59	Jul 25	Comment	Ronald, this young man is not joking. Look how deep his first stroke went. He looks determined. Great image for sure at peak of action.	Jul 9th
59	Jul 25	Comment	Andre, again the only thing I can say is WOW !! Did you have the camera in a housing with the 70-200 mm To swim 2 miles out is not a walk in the park. Agree with Bruce's crop. Essa imagem me deixou de queixo caído e ainda estou me recuperando.....	Jul 9th

67	Jul 25	Comment	Butch, incredible colors and definition. The Rainbow wheel is the cherry on top of the cream in the ice cream. Interesting the effect of the shooting up rays of light. beautiful composition.	Jul 15th

72	Jul 25	Comment	Karen, I pretty much agree with the previous comments. This is my take for the image.	Jul 15th
72	Jul 25	Comment	Maria, another example of coexistence. They look as though they are having a conversation. The birds are sharp and the background is non distracting. Good selection for a crop.	Jul 15th
72	Jul 25	Comment	Maria, the wasp is good looking, but scary as well. Never seen this variety before. The colors are striking. Obviously, it posed for you. You had to come real close with only a 100 mm macro lens. Very sharp including the front of the flower using only a f/6.3 setting. You have a very good eye for little critters, sin lugar a duda.	Jul 9th
72	Jul 25	Comment	Adrian, great capture. I have never seen this species of Dolphins. I agree with you that eliminating the string and the fish, gives more interest to the image. Very sharp and nice colors in spite of the murky water.	Jul 9th
72	Jul 25	Comment	Bruce, peak of action, a second before jumping. Image is sharp. The colors are very vivid. The dark flipper does not bother me. This is not a studio created image.	Jul 9th
72	Jul 25	Reply	Is nature, things are what they are...	Jul 9th
72	Jul 25	Reply	The bear is looking that way and you have to give space to try to show what is he looking at. Also, if you crop the right side, the bear would be centered in the frame which is not ideal.	Jul 9th
72	Jul 25	Comment	Richard, nice family portrait of mother black-necked stilt and 2 chicks, however; one of them is hidden by mother and only visible are the legs which makes the image slightly awkward with 4 legs. I agree with Bruce's crop, made the horizonthal straight, removed the extra pair of legs and added real state to the front of the birds so they can have space to move into.	Jul 4th
72	Jul 25	Reply	Yes Richard, those are bugs buzzing over and around the bear's head. I do not agree with the crop.	Jul 4th
