Thanks, Victor. Between the two, I like the single shade better also, as it keeps the viewer's eye concentrating on details and shapes, rather than the colors/shades of the protective camoflauge. |

Excellent image, Jim. As others have stated, the monochrome adds to the image quality and impact. I really like the sharpness and detail.

A most excellent image, Sharron. Like others, I prefer the wider crop and darker background as they increase the dramatic quality. Visually, I can live with either the tree background or the more even blended version. You captured wonderful detail in all of the feathers and eye, which translates well in a monochrome. Good work!

While I enjoy abstract images, Tom, the original image was too abstract to be recognizable, and too detailed to be what I consider a good abstract. I was very confused as to which way I should view it. Henry's rendition solved the ambiguity of it for me by providing more definition while still keeping the abstract quality.

A very exciting image, Lisa and ideal for monochrome. I really like the action depicted, but I am a little concerned about the bright spot in the central area. I reworked the photo to diminish the exposure and add some contrast, while keeping the rest of the image intact.

I prefer the Original 2 image, with the darker sky because of the increased drama (maybe, while not looking as natural) of the highlighted detail and wood texture. While I agree that there are several mini-scenes possible within the original image, I defer in providing yet another crop.

Thanks, Jim. I will have to try more contrast next time.

Amazing, Allen. I hardly noticed that there were two colors and now that you emphasized them, it it obvious. I have used that technique on other images to bring out different tones, but didn't realize that it would work so well on such similar colors. I will have to try it again.

Thanks, Tom. I really like the way that you add the definition with the dodge and burn. I did a little of that, but obviously did not go far enough to make a difference. I appreciate your skills.

Thanks, Henry. I didn't realize that the small branch was there. I agree that it is better without it. It is an easy crop to remove. I appreciate your observation.

Thanks, Beverly. I think I prefer the mono version also.
Sorry, no (known) relationship to Evelyn.
