15 Nov 23 Comment As is usually the case, Isaac's cropping is spot on. Just a few minor changes really helped bring the focus on the bird, while also continuing to provide the environmental setting to illustrate its habitat. Nov 8th
15 Nov 23 Comment Like others, I agree with Isaac and believe his editing made a world of difference. Nice capture. Nov 8th
15 Nov 23 Comment Wonderful capture, beautiful colors and tack sharp. Can't get much better than this! Nov 8th
15 Nov 23 Comment Welcome to our group! You've done a wonderful job here and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Just as a note: If you ever wish to enter nature or bird shots like this in photo contests, you cannot add or manipulate the image by adding a bird or bees. The images have to be natural, with only normal processing for exposure, cropping, etc. Having said that, I love how you created such a compelling and action-oriented photo. Nov 7th

71 Nov 23 Comment Beautifully captured fall colors. The only downside is that the shoreline cuts exactly through the middle of the image. You could easily fix this by either cropping a bit off the top or the bottom. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment This is a very pretty, well-composed shot, perfectly executed. Makes me want to visit! And if it has that impact, I feel sure you've achieved your goal. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment Great capture. I won't repeat the other comments except to say that I agree with them. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment I tend to agree with Tom about preferring the original. Perfectly composed but the posted version, to me at least, seems too gritty and overly processed. I like the softness of the original, though the original could benefit from opening up the exposure during post-processing a stop or two. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment A really lovely image and beautifully composed. I do think the bright sunlit background in the distance is a little too bright, which tends to draw the eye there instead of into the pond and pretty leaves. I think doing a simple brush stroke in the background, and then lowering the exposure a stop or two would fix that problem. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment I agree with Nigel about losing a bit at the bottom. This would lower the waterfall in the frame, so that it doesn't cut the image in half. I think the waterfall adds a nice feature to the image and helps sets off the scene nicely. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Reply Thank you for your comments. I'm attaching the original to show how much processing was involved. Nov 7th
