4	Feb 26	Comment	Vella, it is interesting Ian's explanation. I have never seen a couple dancing "tango" with their bodies separated and with a handkerchiefs flying. Anyway, it is colorful, and sharp. Nice environmental content as well.	Feb 14th
4	Feb 26	Comment	Guy, it is always interesting to see images of photographers looking outside of the box, things that are not conventional, like this street reflection on the storefront glass. Well done.	Feb 14th
4	Feb 26	Comment	Erik, peak of action as always. I decided not to go this year, and obviously the weather was not friendly, raining and completely covered. No shadows. I have an image of last years Homestead Rodeo in group 59, have a look.	Feb 14th
4	Feb 26	Comment	Gary, the details, sharpness, distortion correction of the 23mm wide angle, and exposure are just spot on. Obviously the camera was on a tripod and that the venue allows its use. I have been in other Libraries, and tripods attre not allowed. Well done.	Feb 2nd
4	Feb 26	Comment	Bill, this is a magnificent image to begin with. Char GPT suggested some cropping and tone down of the intensity of the colors. Very sharp and straight.	Feb 2nd

15	Feb 26	Reply	Gloria, no image ??	Feb 17th
15	Feb 26	Comment	Gerhard, image is sharp and at peak of action. I saw these birds at the Manyara Lake in Tanzania. Since in your image the bird has its neck and head extended back, the shape of the head can not be appreciated completely. I am adding one of my images which will illustrate why the name.	Feb 14th
15	Feb 26	Comment	Dough, this is a masterpiece image of a puffin in peak of action with the mouth full of food to bring to the nest. I have never seen this variety of puffin. Very sharp. Nice crop.	Feb 14th
15	Feb 26	Comment	Gloria, you mention about the yellow color on this variety of penguin, but I can not detect it in this image, but I take your word for it. The brightness of the grass in the front is somehow distrating.	Feb 14th
15	Feb 26	Comment	Grace, the gulls in general are opportunistic birds always trying to steal the food out of the mouth of other birds, or feed from their nesting eggs or newborn chicks (yes carnivorous). This image is very busy with the aggravation of the amputated wing of the flying gull, but sometimes it is what it is. Peak of action.	Feb 14th

58	Feb 26	Comment	Stephen, Hong Kong is an interesting, crowded and busy place. Your image depicts a "life as usual" in any street. Agree that we should see more of the people and less of the street. Image is sharp.	Feb 13th
58	Feb 26	Reply	Bev, save as a copy will allow .jpg	Feb 13th
58	Feb 26	Reply	Stephen, I like the first crop in this section. also falls into the rule of odds.	Feb 12th
58	Feb 26	Comment	Dear friends, I appreciate all the comments, but I think that all of you except Bruce are asking for a studio or posed image. This is a Street Scenes discussion group and most of the time we are shooting "from the hip". Cropping the sign, and perhaps some of the surrounding will help, but all is in context.	Feb 12th
58	Feb 26	Reply	Kerry, you are allowed to make the changes on the image as you described. You just right click the image and download to your computer and the you select choose image bellow the comments space and upload the image again.	Feb 11th
58	Feb 26	Comment	Kerry, this is a very intense image, and the B & W interpretation. He is deep in thought, and his body position plus your vantage point tells the whole story. It is sharp.	Feb 4th
58	Feb 26	Comment	Michele, nice Street as well as Photo Travel image. All the individuals are engaged in the conversation activity. The outfits must be from a particular area or ethnic group. All of them are paying attention to whatever the Monk is talking about. The colors are very vivid, and the image is sharp.	Feb 4th
58	Feb 26	Comment	Bruce, indeed he seems very happy to have his picture taken, in fact; his body language and face expression attests for that. The fact that the other bystanders are minding their own business complements the story. It is sharp.	Feb 4th
58	Feb 26	Reply	Bev, send it to me, I will post it	Feb 3rd

59	Feb 26	Comment	Andre, was at the camera club.	Feb 19th
59	Feb 26	Comment	Don, noise reduction also downgrades the image's sharpness. These guys are really entangled. I am not sure if I can say that I know what is the white stuff on the face of the player in front (which is also dark). Peak of action indeed. I would have straightened the horizontal in the fence.	Feb 14th
59	Feb 26	Comment	Gerald, I agree with Ronald. If I were the judge, my critique would be that there is no space in front of the bike to roll into, and perhaps a more blurred background (implying motion) would help. This crop creates a strong tension. Everything else is just great.	Feb 14th
59	Feb 26	Comment	Andre, another of your master pieces. The surfer is very well illuminated. Obviously, you photography relies heavily also on the environment is addition to the surfer.	Feb 14th
59	Feb 26	Comment	Ronald, Obviously you understand the sport and the limitation to photograph.	Feb 14th
59	Feb 26	Comment	Ronald, thank you for presenting to us a different look of the cricket player. Peak of action catching the ball. The presence of the other player in the background adds context (to me). To others, it may be a distraction.	Feb 14th

72	Feb 26	Comment	Adrian, I am OK with the crop. Albatrosses are large seabirds known for their impressive wingspans, which can reach up to 12 feet, making them the largest flying birds. They spend most of their lives at sea, only returning to land to breed, and are known for their long-term monogamous pair. Albatrosses are highly efficient flyers, using dynamic soaring techniques to glide over the ocean for hours without flapping their wings. Their diet mainly consists of squid, fish, and krill, which they catch by scavenging or diving.	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Reply	Richard, Obviously you are on an "environment" state of mind, since you have requested more of the background on several of the images of this month. In this particular image of the flying Albatros, the environment is the ocean. They can stay in flight for days without landing.	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Comment	Maria, interesting bug in peak of action. Image is pretty sharp considering the magnum crop. I like the way the grass goes from lower left to upper right. There is no need for additional background being this a macro shot.	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Comment	Richard, indeed to photograph a snowy owl is a privilege. I have never seen one in the wild. Your image is sharp, but dark, and there is too much empty space which overpowers the owl. You can crop tighter and still get a sense of the environment and make the owl stand out more. I added some light as well.	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Reply	The Red Crested Cardinal (Scientific Name - Paroaria coronata) is native to South America (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia) but has been introduced to other areas including Puerto Rico and Hawaii, which is your image. I like the way you PP the image bringing out color and detail. Now, I believe your crop is too tight. The birds alway need space in their front, even if they are on a branch, to fly into. This is mi take of the right crop done on te original with no PP	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Comment	Karen, Cardinals are usually all red (the males) not so the females. Here is a couple of them to illustrate	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Comment	Maria, cute little guy. The image is sharp. I believe in a tighter crop since the empty space is not adding anything.	Feb 14th
72	Feb 26	Reply	Completely safe. The bears have so much food around them (salmon) that they could not care less about us. In fact a mother with three cubs approached us, left the cubs near us, and went to do her thing....	Feb 2nd
