Nice nightly image. I'm almost jealous of this image, I have trouble with nightly photography and this picture looks darn good. If you only had trying different f/speed/ ISO combinations you surely would catch some stars that would benefit immensely to your image. I had a 20 s. exposure, but you had the ISO set on 125, a little too low to catch some sky details. And beside your image would not be a slightly over exposed as it is now. |

I think that it is a good capture, however as said, the image, indeed it looks a bit over-exposed, but in my opinion it lacks of an impact. Please, Kurtis, keep in mind that the impact is one of the must subjective of the so-called rules that nobody as written. It is a very personal feeling, and is that first impression you have the first time you see something new and not necessarily a photograph. I think that the tree dominates the story here, and the sleeping Leopard comes after everything else. The horizon line is a bit too low in my opinion, and that cover the other elements of the image. I hope you have the original file and re-process the image, giving the Leopard abetter deserved importance. Right now the emphasis is only on the tree and that cover the rest. |

Regine congrats you made an interesting image. I'm telling that because, I spent all Summer, so far, working on micro-macro photography and I know how difficult it is to get a properly done images. The little animals move constantly and with the extremest short focus range you are constantly searching the best focus point. Your image colors tonal looks good, the focus almost perfect. The shadows of the stems are great. Just a couple of small spot a bit overexposed but not really much. And I think, sorry Art, that flipping the image horizontally does not make any difference. |

Art you mastered the use of infrared filter excellent as always are your IR creation. I never did anything with macro, but thanks to the pandemic and the shelter in place I have been forced to learn something new. I bet you did the same thing. I think that there's little something missing. I know that many would recognize the water-lily but I think if you could render the watermark a bit the all composition would benefit immensely. |

I agree with Kurtis, actually I should have delete those leaves for sure. But during the post process I didn't pay much attention to that, my attention was taken by that little guy of a tiny butterfly, if it is a butterfly, and I didn't want to ruin the shape of that flower. If you look carefully at the image you would see th fully extended tongue of that little flying object. You will note the fully extended tongue that he was using to suck in the pollen from the flowers. And that tongue is remarkably long for aa critter of that size. Thank you for the comments. |
