52 Dec 22 Comment Great feedback. After looking at this image a few times and considering your comments here's my take. I like that the head and stick are sharp but I don't like pancake wings and didn't achieve a type of blur that I can't put into words, but like when I see it. When the wing feathers make some magic. So for this one, I'm going to relegate it to the fail category. Thanks again and best wished to all of you for the coming Holidays. Dec 17th
52 Dec 22 Comment Cute little bug. I like your final composition. My only suggestion would be to maybe burn and/or sharpen the front of the leaf hopper which looks a bit soft to me. A minor darkening of that portion I think would further draw attention to the eye. Dec 11th
52 Dec 22 Comment Nice job. I never would have guessed at that this was an ISO of 12,800 as it looks very clean. I like the blue behind the bird to help set it apart from the background. Great work on transforming your property. I'm jealous. Dec 11th
52 Dec 22 Comment Very pretty scene. It looked like it had a blue color cast to me so I just warmed it up and made no other changes. I might also dodge and burn the sky some as well. Dec 11th
52 Dec 22 Comment What a cute guy. Nice pose and setting. On my screen it looks a tiny bit soft. If you have Topaz or NIK, they have some nice tools for sharpening or try some selective sharpening in whatever tools you have. One suggestion I would have for the future, which is not always possible, is to get a lower point of view on your subject. That way the background becomes more distant and out of focus separating your subject in a nice way. Dec 11th
52 Dec 22 Comment I think you've found a new genre! I love it. The effect is magical and your post processing only emphasizes what you were going for. I think it's perfect as is. Dec 11th
52 Dec 22 Comment I love the mood and tones of your image and like what you did with the moon, which now looks much nicer in the composition than the original. Some dodging and burning I might try would be to emphasize what looks to me like an S shaped path, coming from the right and curving into the forest at the left. I think I would burn a bit the grass in the center forground and treat the bright area on the right side so that it stays similar to the dodging I would do to the rest of the "path". Dec 11th
