52 Jul 25 Comment I like the detail of the Anhinga and the background is well as it separated from the bird to giving dimension to the scene. I do feel that the greens in the bottom portion of this image could be muted a little more as they are bright and eye catching. Jul 14th
52 Jul 25 Comment Nice tight crop and I like the upward direction used in taking this image. Good detail on the veins on the petals and I like the slight lavender coloring of the iris. I do find the old dried up leaf/petal a little bit of an eye sore to this image. You may want to try and remove it. Jul 14th
52 Jul 25 Comment Nice action shot. The head I felt needed a little more detail as I thought that it was heavily shadowed but upon looking up the American Widgeon found this to be it's natural coloring. This coloring makes it hard to distinguish the eye. I think a tighter crop might work better on this image as there is too little space above the head for the bird to take off. By taking out a lot of the water on the bottom and coming in a little from the right and more on the left (leaving in the major taking off splashes) would help on my opinion. Jul 14th
52 Jul 25 Comment Beautiful capture. The catch light in the eye really sets off the bird and helps to add definition to the bird as a whole. I have to agree that the bird does look wet and like it is trying to dry off. The original image has a more colored background above the head and you might consider using that image helping keep a colored background when cropping. I don't think the idea of a tighter crop doesn't work here because of the diagonal of the stick the bird is perched on. I would remove the blade of grass/shrub on the right side as it is a bit distracting. You might also want to try and give the white spot in the center of the birds chest a little more definition. Overall a nice image. Jul 14th
52 Jul 25 Comment Wonderful action shot. The eagle landing among the sea gulls headed toward the fish on shore. The eagle's intent and concentration are excellently captured. I do feel that a little more detail in the eagle would help. I played a little. Adjustments - shadows and highlights - shadows 17 - highlights 35 and then went to Levels - options - enhance monochromatic contrast and saved. I do feel that more definition is brought out in the eagle and not changing the rest of the image. Again great capture. Jul 14th
52 Jul 25 Comment One of my favorite birds to photograph. Under the described lighting conditions you did a wonderful job in capturing the beautiful mating plumage and colors of the head and neck. I like the drop of water coming off the foot and the colors of the beak, lore and eye which to me make this image. Nice work. Jul 14th
