51 Feb 25 Comment A great find and eye to capture the feeling of the rose trying to hang on despite the freezing temperatures adding the ice. My only suggestion would be to darken the areas to the left and under the rose. Those highlights tend to pull the eye away from your main subject the Rose. Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Reply Not a pano. Just shooting straight up the trunk. Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Comment A great winter scene. Winter scenes can be dull and drab but the colorful sweaters and hats plus the green of the pine tree bring life and interest to the image. I love that the dogs are looking at you but the people are just going about their activity. Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Comment My first thought was "I wonder if the phones work?" The play of light and shadow and the differences in the phones adds interest and intrigue. Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Comment A cold winter scene for sure. I agree with the comments already made. I think B&W would work well for this image. To me the snow looks a little dull. Wondering if a white point can be set in Snapseed or add more brilliance. Stay warm! Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Comment I like both images but the black and white adds more drama and makes the lions face and stare seem more intense. My only suggestion would be to use ReTouch and remove the bits of grass or straw on the rock at the bottom left of the image. Well done. Feb 5th
51 Feb 25 Comment In my opinion I would not put more focus on the tree as it looks dead and not a good subject. I like how the V in the hills leads the eye to the reflection in the water. I think you could crop about half of the sky out as there is nothing interesting and the interesting color is near the horizon. It seems to be a little over saturated in the rocks but that could also be caused by the golden light of the sitting sun. I was just watching a photography presentation today and the topic was "what is your subject" when photographing something. I'm not sure what you main subject is. Feb 5th

52 Feb 25 Reply Thanks for your suggestion Mike. Brilliance AI is in the develop module of ON1 RAW. It is similar to auto mode that is in Photoshop. Brilliance AI auto adjusts the tone and color settings but also produces masks for different areas of the image. It can be a good starting point but like everything "auto" it doesn't always give a good result. In the case you turn it off and do all the adjustments manually. If you use Brillance AI you can still tweak the adjustments it did. Feb 10th
52 Feb 25 Comment Great capture and your extensive post processing worked well. The sharpness of the birds eye, beak and the twig really draws the eye to that area. For me I think the underside of the bird is too dark and becomes a dark void. I don't think it needs much lightening but enough to give it more definition. Feb 5th
52 Feb 25 Comment Judith, you are becoming a wildlife photographer. Great capture and post processing. The eyes look sharp and he posed very nicely for you. I find it interesting that the bird seems to be mostly sharp but the branch he is sitting on is not sharp even with an aperture of f/8. Not sure why but maybe others have some insight. The sky was not your friend but you have to take what you are offered. To me it seems like the edges of the bird, especially on the right side seem to be blown out. Not sure how I would address those areas. Maybe others have suggestions. Great work in isolating the bird from the surrounding twigs. Feb 5th
52 Feb 25 Comment You caught a great moment of action between the bull and female. I like that your crop isolated the two seals. I can see how the light was difficult to work with. To me the sand the female is kicking up and the sand in the foreground is too bright and has lost detail. I would suggest darkening that a bit and maybe add some dynamic contrast to that area and to the seals. I think adding a vignette would also bring the focus more to the seals. Feb 5th
52 Feb 25 Comment You peeked my curiosity in what this bird is so I went on a Google search. I think it is a D'Arnaud's Barbet. Look it up and see what you think. Wikipedia has a nice picture of it. Anyway, I think you captured a nice composition of this pair. Great catch light in the eye and they seem intent on something in the distance. I like that the top bird has his tail flicked up as it adds interest. I think you could lighten the overall picture just a little as it seems a bit dull. I think cropping a little more off the top would put more emphasis on the birds. A great find and capture. Feb 5th
52 Feb 25 Comment I think you captured a great moment of action and your shutter speed was high enough to freeze the flying water. The goose looks sharp especially around the head and eye. Usually when people flip an image it is so the subject looks to the right, so I'm curious about your decision to flip the other way. I don't think either way is right or wrong just wondering what your reasoning was. Feb 5th
