26 Oct 22 Comment Welcome to our group, Kirsti. I look forward to many diverse images.
I prefer the B&W version as it emphasizes the tones in the hill and the sky is wonderful.
The bird is so small to be insignificant to me. I don't think it adds anything to the composition.		 Oct 14th
26 Oct 22 Comment This is just perfect as it is. You could hang this on your wall and admire it for hours! I love it. Oct 14th
26 Oct 22 Comment There is nothing compared to an African sunset!
I prefer Kirsti's modification so that the sun is not so overbearing.		 Oct 14th
26 Oct 22 Comment Great model and perfect set up.
There are a few things that bother me though.
Her left hand is cut off and we see too much of the white of her eyes as she is looking so far to the right.		 Oct 14th
26 Oct 22 Comment Great color, great patterns and a wonderful composition. I am not familiar with Drone photography, but your results here obviously make it worth while to carry with you when you travel.

26 Oct 22 Comment Your B&W version works well for this image.
I like the circles and semicircles and see this more as a pattern shot with good tones. As such, I prefer your original crop.
You obviously had to shoot this at a high ISO - 12800- and you have managed to reduce the noise adequately.		 Oct 14th

69 Oct 22 Comment Nice action with the duck feeding. I agree with Brenda's suggestion about taking it out of the center. Oct 14th
69 Oct 22 Comment I like the interaction of the gull with the shag, so would try to keep them both in the frame. The shag in the lower left corner does detract from your composition, so I would clone it out rather than the tighter crop.
They stand out beautifully against the blue sky.		 Oct 3rd
69 Oct 22 Comment This one is definitely a winner and your best landscape to date.
The colors in both the sky and the water are magnificent. And your low shooting angle has made best use of the rocks to draw us into the composition. 		Oct 3rd
69 Oct 22 Comment What a wonderful family moment you have captured here! Everything is sharp and all the eyes are visible.

I don't agree with Isaac's crop - it is much too tight and doesn't allow space in front of the swans. Maybe just take a little off the top.
I admire your resilience to follow this family over time. Well done.		 Oct 3rd
69 Oct 22 Comment The bird is perfectly sharp with good action with its mouth open. The bright spots behind (perhaps branches) are too distracting and draws my eye away from the subject. I think Isaac's crop overcomes this problem. Oct 3rd
69 Oct 22 Comment Your composition is great, with the rocks leading my eye through the scene.
The sky is beautiful. I find the tones in the rocks are too flat. Perhaps more black would improve the contrast.
I would love to see the color version for comparison.		 Oct 3rd
69 Oct 22 Reply Thanks, Brenda.
They are in fact Green Honeycreepers		 Oct 2nd
