52 Jan 24 Comment Thanks for the very nice comments. Jan 29th
52 Jan 24 Comment Very cool image. I love how the size of the birds shows their position, growing larger as they come closer and go higher. Nice border to go with the mood of this image as well. I don't know if it needs it but if you have the information, adding a touch more to the bottom might be worth a look. AI generate would might be fun to try to add some if that's where the image ends.

I think they are probably starlings which act like what you describe but I can't be sure.

Very creative and artistic image. I like it a lot.		 Jan 16th
52 Jan 24 Comment Beautiful scene with lovely flowers. The horizon is a bit off. To me, the sky didn't add much either. I played with the image and did a different crop. I would have left more of the foreground flowers in the the front ones were softer than the ones in the middle so I cropped tighter. I also took some off on the left to avoid the two blossoms that were cut off.

Flipping. I often flip the horizontal just to look and compare which I like better. Also, I like my signature on the lower left and don't like a flying bird flying toward it, so I'll usually flip the bird to be flying to the right. In Lightroom, under the Photo tab there is a flip horizontal choice.		 Jan 10th
52 Jan 24 Comment Beautiful shot Ann. It looks a bit underexposed to my eye, particularly the legs and feet of the egret are hard to see. I suggest adding a bit of canvas to the bottom and right side, and cropping just a tad off the left side. I don't know if you've played with the AI tools in PS which or if you actually used it in this case to remove the telephone pole. I find it amazing. However you did it, there is an appearance of a line or extension of the bill I would remove. I would also remove whatever that is behind the bird's neck as, to my eye, it is distracting. Jan 10th
52 Jan 24 Comment Beautiful shot. I love your placement of the rocks and the circle around the center rock, when "rocks"! The brightness in the upper clouds was pulling me away from the show, which was for me the foreground. I also thought some additional post processing could bring more out of this image. I first cropped to 16:9. I selected the large back rocks, raised the shadows a warmed them up a touch. I added some texture to the sky and clarity to the foreground. Last, I added a bit of vignette. Just another interpretation to give you some ideas. Jan 10th
52 Jan 24 Comment Beautiful swans and I like their different poses. I thought the image might be improved by adding a bit of separation between the swans and the background, which is pretty close to them. Too much would look artificial. I decided to play with LR's new Blur tool and I'll be curious as to what you think. I also added a very slight amount of blue to the image and a vignette. Jan 8th
