51 Aug 21 Comment You had an interesting idea using live view and then adding the bounce effect. I watched the gif file sent to use my email and was astonished by the effect. Well done. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Comment Beautifully captured and that new phone camera did an excellent job. Really like how sharp the butterfly is and the nearby flowers with soft background. Welcome back. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Comment WOW. Such a simple composition yet it says so much. For me this type of image begs for B&W. I think your editing is superb. I feel I still struggle with B&W editing. This image deserves a book cover or print on your wall. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Comment I really like all the colors working together as only nature can do. My only suggestion is to crop a little tighter to push the berries right up to the viewers eye. Congratulations on the 12 pro. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Comment Great use of your selfie stick to get that low perspective. Love all the action with the steam pouring out and the black smoke going up. HDR was a great choice. Well done. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Comment What can I add that the other group members have not already said. I agree that the people give it a place and perspective. Great idea to capture it with your phone camera. Aug 8th
51 Aug 21 Reply Thanks Bob. Aug 2nd
51 Aug 21 Reply Thanks Jerry. I have one image taken with my iPhone 12 mini that has a sun shadow going straight up from the setting sun. Aug 2nd
51 Aug 21 Reply Steptoe Butte is a popular spot for photographers especially for sunset. Aug 2nd

52 Aug 21 Reply I like the square crop but is this the same image as the yellow flowers in the background are in a different position. Aug 11th
52 Aug 21 Comment I think you did an exceptional job at removing the light pollution and I don't feel the image is over processed. To me it looks like there is some issue with the trees on the left at the ridge line. I can't zoom in on them but it looks like the tops of the trees are washed out and the bottoms darker. I like the foreground rocks and the water movement. For me I am unsettled by a light foreground in a night photograph when I know it was pretty dark at the time of the shot. Just my preference to have a more natural representation of the foreground. Having said that I think you did a good job overall and should be happy with the image. Aug 11th
52 Aug 21 Comment Kudos to you Judith for the transformation in this image. You have gone above and beyond what I would have the patience to do so I commend you. Thanks for the details you shared in post processing as it is very helpful. I agree with Ally that although you were going for bokeh, for me it is too bright and distracting. I'm not a Photoshop person or a flower photographer but I was wondering if in your masking you can change the background color from this sort of muddy green to a little lighter complimentary color. Just a thought. Well done. Aug 11th
52 Aug 21 Comment Great capture of this shorebird in action. I really like that you got down low to the birds level. Nice golden side lighting. I agree with Ally about cropping tighter at the top to decrease the brightness. A square crop might work nicely. The bird is the subject so I feel all the focus needs to go there. Very nice image. Aug 11th
52 Aug 21 Comment You captured such a wonderful moment in nature. All the colorful plants add to the image. I like that his/her head is turned to the side a bit and there is nice light in the eye. The sharpness is right where it belongs at the eye and head. I agree that a little more room in front of the beak would work nicely. Can you show us your square crop? Beautiful! Aug 11th
52 Aug 21 Comment You have a knack for capturing butterflies. I think your crop and slight rotation work nicely. The bright out of focus flower head behind the antennae works in showing them. If I had any suggestion it would be to darken the foliage at the top of the image. The brighter green on the right, middle and left top are a bit distracting. Aug 11th
