41 Apr 24 Comment I wish that you had sent in the sooc so we could see...

I love playing with mirrored images, symmetry, polar coordinates, etc. and even though you don't remember all of the steps, the end result works well.

I can see Mr Magoo, but more an owl. 		May 1st
41 Apr 24 Comment I like your editing a lot, it does make the image look more natural and more artisitc at the same time.

I agree with Brian that some selective sharpening might make the deer pop more. 		Apr 30th
41 Apr 24 Comment what a great concept, good story and great previsualization!
I love how your son is in the distance -- good story that has is far into his journey into adulthood. Adding the mountains shows challenges that lie ahead.

I find the flare a tad bright.

I like Nadia's color blending		 Apr 30th

46 Apr 24 Comment The bokeh is wonderful. You did a good job with the sooc version of this female cowbird. I like it flipped, it reads well left to tight, but it is hard that the birds head is turned away. I try to wait until the bird looks more my way.

The sooc was underexposed and you edited it well, but try to ETTR (expose to the right) in camera		 Apr 30th
46 Apr 24 Comment Wow, you have done a lot with this, seeing the sooc version and the cropping and good editing that was done. The borwn tones are great. The little bird, puffed up is wonderful.

To improve: a little more contrast at the head area, looks a tad washed out and remove the branches intersecting with the bird.		 Apr 30th
46 Apr 24 Comment I like the dripping water!
Wonderful catchlight and anlge of the head.
Great capture, lighting and cropping really make the image pop.

To improve: highlights are blown out in some of the feathers removing detail, watch for exposure of white birds. 		Apr 30th
46 Apr 24 Comment Sad story, great image.
The lighting and timine are impecable.

I typically use a more wide open aperture (f4-f5.6) depending on how far away the bird is.

I used lens blur in ACR and then also masking and reducing texture and clarity in ACR. I flipped it so you read left to right, see the bird with the egg, then the wings, and are led back to the egg. 		Apr 30th
46 Apr 24 Comment The camera angle is delicious, allowing us to really feel the bird at it's eye leevel, wonderful! It is amazing how much more engaging a bird image is at eye level compared to when taken at our height!

The splashes as the bird feeds is icing on the cake!

To improve, I added a linear gradient in ACR, tones down whites and highlights and added a litle blue. Then in PS I duplciated the layer 3X changed those layers to screen, placed them in a group, black mask on the group and masked in the catchlight that was there. 		Apr 30th
46 Apr 24 Comment Good use of taking a common subject and making it into a portrait. You have gotten eye level with the bird, whces it a much more intimate portrait.

To improve: the white balance is very cool and the whole image, including the bird and there are reeds between you and the bird.		 Apr 30th
