69 Nov 22 Reply Thanks for that. I did not think about satellite trails.
I prefer to remove them if I can.

69 Nov 22 Comment Thanks to all these constructive comments. Nov 13th
69 Nov 22 Comment Only in Australia! I remember Emu farms in Manitoba, but they were not on the road!
Your bird is crisp sharp. Nice crop and white balance.
Nicely done.

69 Nov 22 Comment Hi Brenda,
Nicely done. You might improve your image by removing the airplane light streaks at the 5:30 and 4:30 o'clock position.
The tone of your image is appropriate.
You have some light pollution from the cities nearby, but this is very difficult to avoid unless you are in a desert or in a valley between mountains. I agree with Dean that this is very tough to do in Florida!
Having an object in the foreground would also be a plus (church, obelisk, mountain, tent, etc.....)
Very nice.

69 Nov 22 Comment Hi Jacob,
Several advantages of the iPhone: 1) normally it is on you - so available anytime you want to take a pict, 2) very small aperture - improving your depth of field.
This bee is parallel to your phone, keeping it sharp throughout (very significant angle improvement when you compare to the spider pict you posted a while ago).
I would have tendency to have a tighter crop to really put the bee as the main subject.		 Nov 13th
69 Nov 22 Comment Nicely done. All sharp and no clipping. I agree with the others that your top crop is a little tight over the tip of the left wing and to the right of the screen by the tail.
A keeper!		 Nov 13th
69 Nov 22 Comment Very nice image. I would have tendency to brighten the pods a bit - I might be picky!
Nicely done. I like your B/W image better than the original.		 Nov 13th
69 Nov 22 Comment Wow... This is a fantastic image. Sharp - bright tones - animal in action. The flash was a must for this image but no overwhelming shadows. Did you bounce the flash?
A keeper for sure.		 Nov 13th
69 Nov 22 Comment Oh I see now. This must be a stick and not the mirror reflection. Thanks. Nov 7th
69 Nov 22 Reply Hi Mervyn,
Thanks for these nice comments. I believe that you are referring to the water reflections of the bushes on the other side of the pond that are giving that impression. There was no branches blocking my full access to the heron and branch. 		Nov 7th

70 Nov 22 Reply Thanks Kirk. Nov 23rd
70 Nov 22 Reply Unfortunately, I did not go to Churchill. Nov 23rd
70 Nov 22 Reply You lived in Churchill! I lived in Winnipeg for a few years...... Small world!
p.s.: No more train from Winnipeg to Churchill.		 Nov 18th
70 Nov 22 Reply You are right. My shutter speed was to be a little too slow. Even though, it was pretty calm at ground level, there was probably some wind higher up! Nov 18th
70 Nov 22 Reply All these are corrections are very important in Ă‚«Ă‚ architecturalĂ‚ Ă‚» photography. Nov 15th
70 Nov 22 Reply Hi Tami,
The lens correction will correct slight anomalies in your lens (such as vignetting, barrel distorsion, wide angle "bowing", etc.).
The issue you have here is that your camera was not perfectly horizontal at the time of the capture. In Lightroom there is a level in the crop tool. You can draw either a perfect horizontal or vertical line and your image will level automatically.
In the situation where your camera is slitty tilted up or down, you will need to adjust the keystone (these tools should be in a "transform" section).
I took the liberty to adjust it. I needed a slight rotation and a slight tilt to get it right.		 Nov 15th
70 Nov 22 Comment Nice image. Your slow shutter speed allowed nice light streaks.
Concerning the perspective, I believe that your image is slightly tilted (when looking at the building across the platform and the towers in the top right corner.
Nicely done.		 Nov 13th
70 Nov 22 Comment Very nice depth in this image caused by the strong directing lines. I really like the silky effect that you created using your 3 stop ND filter.
I found the horizon a bit bright. I found it difficult to "tone down" the sunlight while preserving the shadows. You mentioned that you took 2 images - Can you check how much of an exposure difference you had between the two images? In my experience with this situation, one would frequently need 3-6 full stops between the two images to prevent over-exposing the sun while keeping the details in the shadows.
(I would normally take 5 images at 1 to 1.3 EV intervals with the brighter bracket at 0 or .6 EV).
Very nicely done.
It would be great to have comments from everyone on how to deal with extreme situations like this one.		 Nov 13th
70 Nov 22 Comment Wow.. another unusual spot.
I found it difficult to believe that this is the head of the river. It looks like the water is coming out of nowhere!
Nicely done.
Another keeper!		 Nov 13th
70 Nov 22 Comment Hi Kirk,
As you mentioned, in the middle of the day it is difficult to control the harsh shadows.
These shadows are fine at the level of the gate but I would have a tendency to decrease them under the roof of the old building (the area just above the ladder).
Another spot I need to visit!
I like the way you framed it and respected pretty well the perspectives. You might want to consider a minimal vertical tilt as the towers are slightly falling backward.
Very well done.
Nov 13th
70 Nov 22 Comment Hi Frans,
This is a "classic" spot indeed. I really like your take on it, which I found quite original. You were able to show this scene from a new perspective, despite all the images widely available. Congratulation!
Nice plays on light and shadows throughout. A keeper!		 Nov 13th
70 Nov 22 Comment This is quite a spectacular scene. I like how you enhanced Ursa Major.
I saw several aurora borealis when I was in Greenland and in Northern Quebec, but far from filling up the sky like this one.
In Northern Quebec (where Hudson Bay and James Bay meet), I was in a Cree village. For them, the aurora borealis are representing their deceased elders looking upon their living families. I really liked that analogy. I really enjoy the movements of the lights in the sky.
