Group	Round	C/R	Comment	Date	Image
4	Oct 25	Reply	Now that you mention it, I agree with the presence of the yellow hue.	Oct 20th
4	Oct 25	Reply	Was this HDR bracketing ?? That could cause the halos.	Oct 13th
4	Oct 25	Reply	Ian, you are right. Now on a second look his right chick is Colombia and the left is Costa Rica. My bad.....	Oct 13th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Ian, Valentino must be a Caribbean guy (however the name is Italian) for sure given by the flags painted on his chicks. The right one must be Venezuela, since all three colors are the same size, now on his left chick I believe it is a hybrid between Cuba and Puerto Rico (maybe he is not sure....). The glasses are very dramatic, and his body language is good,. Image is sharp, and nicely composed with a non distracting background.	Oct 10th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Guy, the bridge as a leading line takes our eyes towards infinite where the bridge seems to go underwater. The presence of the boat gives some degree of scale as well. Nice dense clouds.	Oct 10th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Gary, good earth tones colors, sharp, nice composition with the road ending in the right (my right) lower corner, nice sky, and a touch of modernism given by the motorized vehicle.	Oct 10th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Erik, I must agree with Vella's comment. The illumination is so good that it looks like it was staged, which is OK. The halos are very obvious.	Oct 10th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Bill, Butler it is indeed. The effect looks like the old photographic glass plates, or perhaps Daguerreotype Photography. Interesting composition. Perhaps the lower grey segment is slightly distracting and could benefit from some cropping. Obviously you were enjoying your Palouse photo tour.	Oct 5th
4	Oct 25	Comment	Vella, great capture of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in active work sucking the nectar from the Scarlet Sage. The wings are almost frozen (1/2000 sec) denoting movement which is good. To complete freeze the wings you need faster shutter speed. Good resolution in spite of the magnum crop.	Oct 5th

15	Oct 25	Comment	Vivek, this is a bird we do not have in the Americas. I did see another variety in Tanzania. I like the position of the bird on the tree stump. It is sharp.	Oct 26th
15	Oct 25	Reply	Doug, maybe a little too much saturation, but improved	Oct 26th
15	Oct 25	Comment	Sarita, I agree with Doug. Interesting position of the wings forward while the bird is standing on the flower and not hovering. I consider the fact that you can see the flower through the wing as an added bonus.	Oct 10th
15	Oct 25	Comment	Dough, great capture of a BIF. It is very sharp, and with no distractions in the background. The colors are very vivid. Interesting that the wings are sharp tip to tip with an f/4. Just to be picky, I would give a hair extra of real state in the front for the bird to fly into.	Oct 10th
15	Oct 25	Comment	Grace, nice nature image. The colors are really washed out. I do not alter my nature images replacing the sky either, but the image rendered by Doug looks more appealing.	Oct 4th
15	Oct 25	Reply	The whole bird	Oct 3rd
15	Oct 25	Reply	Dough, I have both of my knees replaced.... also you can see a view of Mt Hood this past September in Group 4 (https://psadigital.org/group04/image.php?iid=111141). You have the full image of the Quetzal just taking off. For us, and all the time we were there, the birds never took off. I am attaching the full frame of the portrait, and yes it is quite a crop in spite that I used the 800 mm, and another image showing the full plumage, but just siting on the tree.	Oct 3rd
15	Oct 25	Comment	Gerhard, you are here presenting two new terms to my nature lexicon: The Goliath Heron which to me looks very similar to the Reddish Egret we have here in Florida including the colors of the feathers. According to your description they can get very tall, I am not sure the Reddish Egret is that big; and the other is the Tiger Fish which I have never seen before. Obviously the African Continent offers a different variety of wild life. The image is sharp. Some of the bushes interfere with the image, but it is what it is. I am attaching an image of a Reddish Egret with a minnow for comparison	Oct 3rd

58	Oct 25	Comment	Bruce, great face expression of the guy on the left (my left). It seems to be a very involved discussion about why the crab walks sideways.....Obviously they are enjoying a glass of beer.	Oct 10th
58	Oct 25	Comment	Pinaki, another example of what is the new normal. Everything circulates around the hand held smart devices. Agree with Bev about the cropping. The three females are really looking at the camera. Interesting wardrobe, artefacts and colors including the goddess in the background.	Oct 10th
58	Oct 25	Comment	Bev, lot's of goodies to look at and eventually buy. The couple is looking away from the camera and blocking the merchandise, so we can not tell on what they are interested. I usually try not to amputate people unless it is strictly necessary.	Oct 10th

59	Oct 25	Comment	Bruce, great action image. I do not get tired admitting that you are the soccer photography king. Image sharp. I like the face expression of the # 13 player. The one on his back is ready to slide between his legs.	Oct 28th
59	Oct 25	Reply	Or surf !!	Oct 15th
59	Oct 25	Reply	Andre, even at wide open this zoom lens has very little bokeh, also the short separation between the rider and the background does not help. It is almost impossible the achieve a "clean" background at the rodeo.	Oct 13th
59	Oct 25	Comment	Gerald, indeed a peculiar bike. Interesting modification to make the kid get involved and enjoy the ride. Of course, the father saw you making the picture. Image is sharp, and the colors are very tropical. There is motion. I have entered images in multiple judging salons. At one time an image got a gold medal in one, and not accepted in another one. Oh well... Some judges just do not get it.	Oct 4th
59	Oct 25	Comment	Andre, as they say "you do not have to be crazy to do this, but surely helps"... Another WOW image that I would never be able to create. Meus parabéns !!	Oct 4th
59	Oct 25	Comment	Ronald, what a nice tribute to these players and for you to present to us one of them. He looks determine. Main subject in motion with the foot off the ground. Image is sharp.	Oct 4th

67	Oct 25	Comment	Larry, to me the long exposure speaks by itself. Incredible detail and rendition of colors. Well done. I have been there, in fact with you many years ago, and it is not an easy place to photograph. The parking lot is a distance away, and yes, those limestone rocks are very sharp.	Oct 10th

72	Oct 25	Comment	Maria, your collection of little critters is increasing exponentially. Very sharp with lots of detail. I am very surprised that you were able to combine 10 frames in focus stacking created by hand holding. Great pulse for sure and the little guy did not move.	Oct 15th
72	Oct 25	Comment	Bruce, what a beauty this couple of young foxes. In pure nature salons, vignetting is not allowed. I thought it was more a front and back bokeh when shooting @ 1120 mm (800 + 1.4xTC)so I do not think the vignette is adding anything but distraction.	Oct 15th
72	Oct 25	Comment	Adrian, perfect shot of mother and chick interaction, feeding the baby. The mother regurgitates the food and gives it to the little one. Patients and moving around pays off. Of course, we have no control over the light.	Oct 10th
72	Oct 25	Comment	Maria, beautiful interaction mother and calf. I like the composition. The image is sharp and the background is not distracting.	Oct 10th
72	Oct 25	Comment	Karen beautiful bird giving you a serenate for sure. Sharp in spite of the magnum crop. Nice colors. I feel that the vegetation in front of the bird overpowers it and becomes distracting.	Oct 10th
72	Oct 25	Comment	Richard, panning is not easy. It takes a lot of try and error until you are lucky and get one right. The brain, eyes, body and hands synchronization is not easy to follow the movement. A good panning is when the subject is as sharp as possible, and the background is blurred due to the movement. Here the subject is soft, and the wings very blurred due to the slow shutter speed. The more magnification you have, the more difficult ends up. Here you used 420 mm. You needed a faster shutter speed for sure.	Oct 10th
