22 Feb 23 Reply Actually, the cranes ARE that close! They walked to within 15-20 yards of the coyote. Looked to me like they wanted to chase him off. I don't think they had much to fear since they could easily go aloft and escape. I've seen the cranes and coyotes walk past each other quite often. It's like, ho hum! Feb 16th
22 Feb 23 Comment Actually, either one works for me. After all, we know that they stand on ground, so in my opinion there's no need to darken or eliminate it. To me it isn't distracting. The composition is good -- nice story-telling aspect to this. Feb 14th
22 Feb 23 Comment I like the way you composed this. Very nice depiction of an artist concentrating on his creation. The colors are great. And the image is tack-sharp. Feb 14th
22 Feb 23 Reply Good suggestion. I'll make the change. Feb 7th
22 Feb 23 Comment Ha, ha. When I first looked at your image, I thought you had Photoshopped the blue booties on the dogs! They really stand out. I like the composition. This shows the environment that the race happens in. I can imagine how cold it was. Just wondering: You shot at 1/5000 second. If you had used a slower shutter speed, this could have created a little blur and sense of movement and motion. The fast shutter speed rendered the image a little static. Feb 6th
22 Feb 23 Comment I think you did a fabulous job processing this image. You brightened the leaves in the background just enough and brought out the vibrant colors in the dahlia. The little bug was an eye-catching treat. Feb 6th
22 Feb 23 Comment Great composition! I love the way the walkway leads to the lighthouse and building. The red colors make this pops! Your cropping also tightened the image to better focus our attention on the lighthouse, pier and building. Nice job! (But it does look cold!) Feb 6th

71 Feb 23 Reply Thanks. That was my fallback idea. Think I'll stick to it rather than include the birds. Feb 14th
71 Feb 23 Comment I agree with Michele's comments about the rocks. I also think the light portion at the top half of the image isn't balanced with the darker bottom half. I suggest darkening the top half to better balance the lights and darks. Feb 6th
71 Feb 23 Comment Shooting the Northern Lights is on my photo bucket list. You grabbed a fantastic capture and composition. My only recommendation is to darken the two bright spots on the shore along the right side. Due to their brightness, they were what grabbed my attention when I first look at your image. Darkening them with allow the focal point to be on the Northern Lights. Feb 1st
71 Feb 23 Comment Beautiful composition. I love the foggy atmosphere. The bright staircase on the left of the frame tends to draw my eye off the image. I think you could easily crop that out. The only drawback to your excellent technique and capture is that the beach looks a bit trashy with all the vehicle tracks. Feb 1st
71 Feb 23 Comment Great colors and a wonderful vintage car. I suggest lightening the shadows on the pedestrians, especially the guy. He appears to be looking at the car. If you lighten the shadows on his face, I his turned face will even better direct our attention to the car. Feb 1st
