4	Dec 25	Comment	Bill, I agree with Erik. By now you must have quite a collection of images from many of the buildings in Detroit and should result in a nice table top book. I like the symmetry created by the slight crop gary did, and sharpness of the image. It seems to me that our big boys toys are going to stay home....	Dec 13th
4	Dec 25	Comment	Gary, this building is an architecture masterpiece. I have seen many images of it and from different angles, changed to high contrast B&W with a very much impact results. I like your composed image, and of course the other iterations.	Dec 7th
4	Dec 25	Comment	Ian, the colorful forest in autumn colors is getting ready to engulf the walking people. I like the tunnel formation. Beautiful illumination with light strikes across the bottom. Image is sharp and nicely composed.	Dec 7th
4	Dec 25	Comment	Erik, we were together that morning, and we had a great light with nice reflection of the rocky structures in the water at low tide. The retrieval of the water after high tide create those diagrams in the sand. We met a Scottish photographer (you can see him at the upper right intersection of the rule of thirds, he is with his tripod). I do not mind the amount of foreground since it really frames the sand forming an interesting triangle.	Dec 7th
4	Dec 25	Comment	Vella, interesting vantage point and non conventional angle, which makes it more attractive. It is sharp. Yes, the balloons work as leading lines towards the circular structure in the roof, and open to the vast sky with clouds. When we travel, we create tourist photos.	Dec 7th
4	Dec 25	Comment	Guy, here the limit is your imagination. You can create many critters out of this abnormality in the tree. It is like scar tissue after a wound, or just a malignant growth on the trunk. Thanks for showing the whole tree to put things in context. Sharp.	Dec 7th

15	Dec 25	Comment	Vivek, sometimes not all of what we see will end up as a good image. The Hornbill was in an unfavorable place and strong brightness in the background, therefore the result with lots of distracting and obstructing branches. Very hard to eliminate them.	Dec 13th
15	Dec 25	Reply	Doug, the image is much improved	Dec 10th
15	Dec 25	Reply	No, I did not do it. I went for a Birds of Colombia workshop, and everything was pre-organized	Dec 10th
15	Dec 25	Comment	Gerhard, you now did a great job in the image PP with no halos.	Dec 10th
15	Dec 25	Comment	Gloria, this must be a very particular variety of the cormorants found only in the Galapagos Island. This turquoise eye color happens when they are in reproductive mode during the matting season to attract the female. Interesting as how the plumage colors camouflages with the environment.	Dec 7th
15	Dec 25	Comment	Gerhard, perfect timing at peak of action. Image very sharp and beautiful colors. I like as how the arriving bird frames the standing one with the wings. There is a halo around both birds consequence of over sharpening. I have used this method to correct them: https://www.capturelandscapes.com/how-to-quickly-fix-edge-halos-in-photoshop/	Dec 7th
15	Dec 25	Comment	Sarita, sometime the food pyramid creates some non pleasant situation as this one. I have seen the seagulls stealing the skimmers chicks since they create their nests at ground level digging slightly into the sand, and the chicks are curious and hungry so the run out and get exposed. The action in this image is priceless, but unfortunately it is back ligthed which makes it loose detail and contrast.	Dec 7th
15	Dec 25	Comment	Doug, yes the king vultures are magnificent birds with their very colorful head and clear feathers. I like the interaction her. I am sure the strongest will keep the treat. Image is sharp.	Dec 7th

58	Dec 25	Comment	Maxim, this image is on the high key spectrum of light. I like the fact that we can not see the lady's face and it becomes a mystery a makes you curious as what it would look like. The image is sharp.	Dec 10th
58	Dec 25	Comment	Michele, it really looks like the weather was cold. The lady. I like her laid back attitude since there is no other choice but to wait for the customers in a very competitive market. The dark background is not distracting.	Dec 7th
58	Dec 25	Comment	Bruce, I like the face language of the man looking at his companion and of course the happy faces of the giants in the back. Image is sharp, and the colors are very vivid. The crop is appropriate to remove distracting areas.	Dec 7th

72	Dec 25	Comment	Adrian, great landscape with a winner sky. The silhouetted volcano adds some mystery to the image. It is sharp.	Dec 10th
72	Dec 25	Comment	Karen, yes the crane looks kind of impressed by something. Good PP and the crop limits the image to the important features. It is sharp in spite of the big crop.	Dec 10th
72	Dec 25	Comment	Maria, great result. I guess that the fly collaborated for the portrait because it was early in the day and was still covered with the cold dew. The mosca itself is completely sharp, but I think that you had to extend the reach of the multiple exposures to cover more of the plant leaves, since being blurred creates some distraction. I did add some light to the fly to see more detail.	Dec 8th
72	Dec 25	Comment	Richard, Costa Rica is a bird's photographers paradise. A lot of hummingbirds varieties. The image is sharp with frozen wings (1/4000 sec). Sometimes there is debate as whether or not a slight wing blur has to show to denote the real fast flapping of the wings to be able to hover. The colors are well treated and the image is sharp with a non distracting background. I believe there is too much empty space which takes away prevalence on the bird. This is my take about the crop.	Dec 8th
72	Dec 25	Comment	Maria, being the King of the Jungle - Africa has its cost. The wound most of the times are created when they are hunting specially horned animals, or when defending its alfa position in the wild. Here he has a calm body position. Good colors. Sharp.	Dec 7th
