As Alan said this is probably a good scrapbook image from your trip but not spending a lot of time trying to make it competition worthy. I sure you have many other images from your trip that you would be better off spending time on. |

From a wildlife photographer I think you did a pretty good job. You learn by stepping out of your comfort zone. Your detail is pretty good - water dripping from bill - and splatters of water droplets all add. I tried ColorEfex 4 and tried to enhance the back's feather details. I also used the healing brush to remove some distracting pieces of grass in the foreground in the water. |

I like this image and you had much better lighting than my trip there. I agree with Alan in that the sky (horizon level) is a little too bright. Other than that I would not change a thing. |

I tried playing with this image in many ways and I couldn't find a solution. I think you should have pushed the ISO way up to help compensate for the light so you could shoot at at least 1/60 second and preferably 1/100 second with the aperture open all the way. You included none of this information in your description. |

I agree that your choice of B&W was correct and with what Alan has said. The other thing I noticed were the legs that appear to have fine noise so I used Imagenomics (weak noise) to remove the noise and give a smoother look to the legs. |

I have trouble with this image. I find the lack of detail in the monkey makes the image very blah to me. Some others have suggested a silhouette type image and I have to agree. I even thought that inverting colors might enhance this image (it is different). |

Great detail in the picture from the cicada's wings to the cracked mud with sand specs showing through. I think this image reminds us that nature is not always living colorful, vibrant and alive. |

Like this image a lot. Great detail from splashing water from the fish to great feather detail on the great blue. I wouldn't change a thing. |

I can easily see why you chose this crop. In looking closely at the image there appears to be a pixelization surrounding the antenna of the butterfly. I think the crop might have been too tight causing this effect. I also played with colorefex 4 and was able to darken the background and enhancing the color a bit. |

To my eye I find the original has more pop and color detail. Your edited version appears a little too washed out. We take what we can get when making long trips but I think an earlier or later arrival time would have helped immensely. I often shoot at 640 or 800 ISO but compensate with aperture and shutter speed which were not mentioned in the description. |

Sharon,
First CONGRATULATIONS on the honors listed in the new PSA Journal.
On this beautiful image I am wondering why you chose not to use DEHAZE to help detail some of the background walls with a little more detail? |
