26 Feb 22 Comment This is such an unusual image which works so well. The color palette is great as is the dreamy effect created in the background.
I would suggest a slight crop from the right to improve the composition.		 Feb 15th
26 Feb 22 Comment Jose, you sure have an eye for pattern and symmetry. This one is another winner.
The golden colors are quite rich with the blue inlay providing some contrast.
I would probably also crop the extreme borders left and right.		 Feb 15th
26 Feb 22 Reply Interesting comment about the sky, because I tried to enhance the sunset colors even further. Feb 15th
26 Feb 22 Comment The concentration shown on his face is fantastic! I would hope that my mechanics are this engaged when they work on my car!
I think Bob's crop from the top does eliminate some of the distractions created by that green box. However I prefer the tones and evenness of the light in your original.		 Feb 15th
26 Feb 22 Comment I find the sky too overwhelming. It draws all my attention away from the Badlands, with its beautiful textures and shapes. I agree that the original is a little dull, so some added sky is needed. Feb 15th

69 Feb 22 Reply This is a big improvement as we are now focused on the action. Feb 16th
69 Feb 22 Comment Lighting at midday is always difficult unless completely overcast. You have done reasonably well here to eliminate the distracting background and concentrate on the flower. Feb 15th
69 Feb 22 Comment In South Africa we have Jacanas or Lily Trotters which I'm guessing is the same family. I would crop some off the bottom which is out of focus and the left to get rid of that bright bud on the edge of the frame. Feb 3rd
69 Feb 22 Comment It is unfortunate that everything is the same color, but that's probably what makes the cormorant such an efficient fisherman.
I would crop the left despite losing the tail as that bud is quite distracting. Then we are more focused on the action. I would also open up the shadows especially on the fish to give us a little more contrast.		 Feb 3rd
69 Feb 22 Comment The diagonal composition is great. I like the crop that you have presented to us here. Well done on all the improvements from the original. Feb 3rd
69 Feb 22 Comment Its a pleasing shot with the reflections. But I agree with previous comments that there are too many distractions to make this into a competition winner. Feb 3rd
69 Feb 22 Comment Both pictures are wonderful but I think I prefer the single bird landing. Removing the lower duck is a big improvement.
White birds are always a problem with exposure unless photographed very early in the morning - in the golden hour.		 Feb 3rd
