40 Oct 22 Comment Hi Lin, this is Mike from group 52. Andrew invited me to take a look. I agree with all of Don's comments and the cut off ear bothers me as well. I felt that both the yellows and the greens were too saturated. As to the crop, for me, when I cut something off that doesn't look natural to my eye I tend to take it further. I played with it a bit to show you what I mean. I also added a bit of light to the eyes without making them look like Halloween I hope. Oct 18th
40 Oct 22 Comment Hi Julie. This is Mike from Group 52. Andrew invited me to come have a look. I think you did a masterful job. Flipping the image vastly improved it in my opinion. I normally don't like a complicated background, but the birds tonality matches that background and provides a good environmental. I might select out the subject and reduce the highlights of the background and maybe add a slight blur or glow to it to further separate the subjets. I love your crop and processing of the birds themselves. They look more crisp and colorful than the original. Nice work. Oct 18th

52 Oct 22 Comment My favorite bug. I've never seen one in Florida but would love to spend some time photographing them. Very interesting shot and lighting. I could see it as the cover of a mystery novel. There's no original so I can't see if you had more canvas to work with but a minor point is having one antenna cut off. I think the lighting caught the dust on the window in the dark section of the image only, which I find slightly distracting and I would consider removing them. Oct 9th
52 Oct 22 Comment Nice job getting a sharp image under those conditions. Compositionally, the wing looks too close to the bottom and the tail to the edge. I'd add some to those two areas. I also try to avoid cutting my subject with the horizon but doubt that you had an option when taking this shot. Oct 9th
52 Oct 22 Comment Very nice image and I like the composition a lot. I feel for the little guy. I believe the image is a bit underexposed, which has rendered the white snow a middle grey. I'd add a stop or two and see what you think. Oct 9th
52 Oct 22 Comment Great job. I like that both antennae are both clearly visible. It does look a touch too dark for my taste and I would look at it a bit brighter to see a comparison and decide. Oct 9th
52 Oct 22 Comment I think this image is fantastic. I love the fact that focus is only on the subject and the composition is wonderful. Bravo! Oct 9th
52 Oct 22 Comment People either love predation shots or detest them. I'm in the love camp. Great image. My only suggestion would be to play with the background a bit to help create a little more separation between it and the subject. Love it. Oct 9th
