26 Jun 25 Comment Wow! It will be interesting to record how many chicks she produces in one season. Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment Kirsti, You are once again the Queen of the abstract world. This picture can be anthing you want it to be. Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment Very dynamic presentation with excellent color harmony and composition.
My only suggestion is to eliminate (clone out) the out of focus stem bottom left below the bees head.		 Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment Your choice of shutter speed has created enough movement while still providing sufficient detail in the bikes.

Cropping a little off the right would eliminate the sign and screen without losing any content.		 Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment I like the way you have created this composition as it all comes together to tell the story.
I also agree about creating a little more space at the bottom for the wheels.		 Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment Great composition showing the bird and some action.
Have you tried Topaz Gigapixel to increase the file size, and then you might be more successful with noise reduction.		 Jun 19th
26 Jun 25 Comment We have some wonderful nature pictures in our group this month.
How lucky you are to have this nest so close to your bedroom window. And well done with your planning and preparation prior to taking this picture. I look forward to seeing many more images from this nest. Maybe with the worm in its beak?		 Jun 19th

69 Jun 25 Comment Dean, Congratulations on this picture being chosen for this months home page. Keep up the good work. Jun 19th
69 Jun 25 Comment Nice capture of a very small bird. You have shown us a bird that we don't see here in the States and also its environs.

I agree with Jacobs suggestion to crop the dense leaf in the top right corner. 		Jun 19th
69 Jun 25 Comment Congratulations on getting your first real camera. I wish you many years of happy shooting.

The Robin is good and sharp, and the colors are vibrant. And it stands out from the background.
However, its position on the ground is never ideal because you can never eliminate the distractions. And one can never get low enough to shoot at their level. The same problem exists with birds on their nest.
I look forward to seeing your photographic endeavors soaring to new heights!		 Jun 19th
69 Jun 25 Comment This is a difficult capture with all those branches, but you have managed to position the face in a clear area.
Couple of suggestions: 1) Use the de-haze filter to eliminate the hazy appearance in the lower part of the body.
2) Re crop to include the edge of the tail - it is there in the original.
3) Darken the tree trunk to create better separation from the bird.

69 Jun 25 Comment The Warbler is wonderfully sharp with great feather detail. Shooting up like this does unfortunately present the bird at an awkward angle, which I realize could not be helped.

Eliminating the blue sky on the right is a vast improvement as this was drawing my eye away from the subject.		 Jun 19th
69 Jun 25 Comment Beautiful muted colors and its amazing that the sun does not dominate the scene.

Generally we don't like to see the horizon in the center of the picture. However in this case I think it would add to the symmetry by being exactly in the middle. This would also eliminate the dark patch on the bottom of the picture. Try it and see what you think!		 Jun 19th
