41 Aug 24 Comment I enjoy the muted colors and how that adds to your story. The curve of the path works very well to lead your eye into the scene and the squirrel seems to say, you aren't looking, you walked right by me

I do find the white sky to be distracting, taking my eye to the upper left. Try this -- make a new layer, blend mode darken and paint with like a 20% gray until it doesn't distract....

44 Aug 24 Comment nice colors, composition and tone mappping.

I would crop the right a tad		 Aug 28th
44 Aug 24 Comment The low angle and extensive foreground works really well. You had great colors. The colors are winderul. The composition really makes the image pop, and the lights on in the far right is icing on the cake.

Personally I would take out the lone sailboart on the left as the mast extends into the sky and the boat gets lost in the water

It is unfortunate that this location is no longer publicly accessible, seems like more and more good spaces areoff limits to photograpers. 		Aug 28th
44 Aug 24 Comment I like the warm tones of the building against the cool sky. The vignette is just right. Time of day is good.

To improve, tweak the area right in the middle above the buildinng where it is a little muddy and not as distinct.

I did not know you could do five exposure brackets uisng a drone...		 Aug 28th
44 Aug 24 Comment Glad that you had older images to process while recovering, hope you are back to 100% asap.

HDR sometimes flattens the image too much, seems like some more contrast would make the scene pop more.		 Aug 28th
44 Aug 24 Comment Wonderful lcoation Max, you get to some really great places! You should be our tour arranger.

I like the scene and the tone mapping as it brings out all of the texture and stops short perfectly just shy of being guncgy

The top the windows is troublesome, the left window has gray areas that need to be touched up.
The right window is white, so perhaps another stop was needed, nbut at least no artifacts like the left window.		 Aug 18th
44 Aug 24 Comment love the impact and the low camera angle! Wonderful sky! Great colors and texture

To improve, the scene seems to run downhill a tad sloping to the left, and at the left side where the ladscape meets the sky is is a little mushy...		 Aug 18th

46 Aug 24 Comment Wonderful capture and wow, at eye-level, that is hard to find that composition. The wing position is nice and the gead perfectly placed.
Good detail and the exposure is well done.

Two suggestions:
select the subject and invert the bacground and lower the WB temp a tad and leave (or add) a little more space in front. This leaves more room for story by giving the bird some place to fly into and it places the eye in a "power point"		 Aug 29th
46 Aug 24 Comment The bird definitely seem to interact with the viewer.
Very well composed. The background is pleasing.
Very Good detail, especially considering the large crop.

I would use a color bbend mode and paint over the pink area.

Please explain how you crop and keep such amazing detail. Are you using enhance in LR/ACR? Are you using gigapixel? Are you using PS to increase the resolution? 		Aug 29th
46 Aug 24 Comment Good timing, great action and story!

It does appear to be a little too sharp/crispy on my screen, almost like it was wun thru AI sharpen. I always sharpen on a layer, and sharpen just the eyes and afew key points, nit the entire image.

46 Aug 24 Comment Love the detail in the crow, hard to do on a black bird. I love the low camera angle too! Very engaging!

Try using the lasso and circling the white and then edit, content aware fill, or using generative fill.		 Aug 28th
46 Aug 24 Comment Spoonbills are wonderful! Great bird in flight. The shutter speed frooze the wings and you chose a good wing position to trip the shutter.

While the crop eliminates the distracting elements it is beyond the resolving power and leaves the head, beak and eye as not sharp. You are asking a ~20 megapixel camera to take 1 megapixel image and have enough resolving power, hard to do. Think about the bird filling at last 1/5 to 1/4 of the screen before tripping the shutter will yield even better results.		 Aug 28th
