26 Mar 25 Comment Kirsti, once again you have shown us your ingenuity and imagination. I would never have seen this no matter how long I examined the scene.
The addition of the harp strings does create a different dimension and I liked that you kept the grainy effect.		 Mar 17th
26 Mar 25 Comment I always look out for doors and windows when I am traveling in Europe. This one is well seen and shows just enough of the lovely colors and patterns. Good composition! Mar 17th
26 Mar 25 Comment Terry, you have captured his weathered and aged features so perfectly. His concentration shows his obvious love of what he is doing. And it was a good choice to remove the 2248.

I agree with Kirsti's crop. The extra microphone is an un-necessary distraction.		 Mar 17th
26 Mar 25 Comment I love photographing in these old European towns with their cobblestone streets and vibrant colors. The girl looking back gives the picture greater impact and lifts it up from the ordinary. Mar 17th
26 Mar 25 Comment The orchid is quite beautiful and you have composed it very nicely. I like the position of the central bloom which draws my eye into its center.
However I am distracted by the orange blur in the upper left corner, and this can easily be cloned out and replaced with the clean green background.
I don't mind the floating effect as it keeps the presentation simple.		 Mar 17th
26 Mar 25 Reply Hi Joe. Nice to hear from you and thanks for your comments. Mar 3rd

69 Mar 25 Comment Probably needs some brightening also. Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment Nice picture of the squirrel, but my eye is drawn away by the bright sky on the left.
I took your picture into camera raw. Selected the sky. Reduced exposure and highlights in the sky only. Back in photoshop I cropped to concentrate on the animal and had to do some cloning to get rid of the branches and ghosting around the subject.		 Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment Wow. I would not feel comfortable getting this close. Congratulations on keeping your cool and getting the picture.
Was a good choice converting to B&W		 Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment What a fun picture! Its always interesting to see the subject doing something unusual as you have shown us here.
Your editing has vastly improved the picture.		 Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment Well done on getting all 4 birds in perfect focus. The background does not bother me.
How difficult is it to hand hold such a large lens? I struggle with my 200-600! On safari one can always get support somewhere on the vehicle. At the local bird sanctuary I have started using my monopod. But then I have to sacrifice birds in flight. Choices, choices!		 Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment What a great color palette with the orange and green background. And the sharpness is excellent considering how much you cropped.
Pierre's version does improve the detail in the head and body.
Do you know what kind of butterfly it is?		 Mar 8th
69 Mar 25 Comment Thanks for your comments. Here is a new version with more contrast and vignette. Mar 8th
