11 Dec 19 Reply 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. Dec 30th
11 Dec 19 Comment Excellent image, Jim. As others have stated, the monochrome adds to the image quality and impact. I really like the sharpness and detail.

11 Dec 19 Comment 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!

11 Dec 19 Comment 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.

11 Dec 19 Comment 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.

11 Dec 19 Comment 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.

11 Dec 19 Reply Thanks, Jim. I will have to try more contrast next time.

11 Dec 19 Reply 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.

11 Dec 19 Reply Thanks, Sharron. One of the benefits of the group is to find ways to improve your images.

11 Dec 19 Reply 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.

11 Dec 19 Reply 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.

11 Dec 19 Reply Thanks, Beverly. I think I prefer the mono version also.

Sorry, no (known) relationship to Evelyn.
