52 Jan 17 Comment Many thanks for your comments. I will try your suggestions. While lightening the sky will likely pop the raptor, the sky the day of the photo was that intense blue that you see. I am always conflicted about altering what I see when I tale a nature photo. Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment What a great catch! The duck really pops against the bokeh background. The bird and branch form a great diagonal line, AND the curve of the duck's neck mimics that of the branch. The orange in the beak repeats in the feet and body, and in spots in the tree. AND--the duck caught in flight descent just before his landing is tack sharp. Wonderful. Do these ducks really whistle? Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment I love the way that the setting sun's light bounces off the clouds and water. I agree that cropping some of the sky might be nice. BUT--I rather like the "hole in the sky". It adds drama. Are those trees or skyscrapers at the right horizon? I like them too. They add mystery. Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment You have captured the vastness of this majestic place. Upon close inspection I find a halo outlining the tops of the mountains in the back. Is that an artifact of post processing? The evergreens in the foreground seem too dark. Can they be brightened? The leading line formed by the canyon could use some brightening as well. Would an adjustment of vibrancy and a bit of saturation help? What time of day did you take this? The light looks very low. Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment I love the duck's look of contentment and playfulness. The motion of the water adds to the sense of frolic. You captured a special moment in a special place. I like the blue diagonal produced by the unique perspective; it generates interest. Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment I love this photo. The intersecting diagonal lines formed by the bird's bodies and wings generate a strong composition. The perfectly clear sky keeps my eyes on the birds. You caught the wings unfurled AND in focus (something I have yet to achieve) and the wonderful, identical open-mouthed expressions. I couldn't help but wonder if the birds were fleeing a foe. While the image does look grand as you have framed it, I would prefer a gallery wrap look with no borders. For me, the borders conflict with the wonderful action of the birds. Will they crash into the frame? Jan 9th
52 Jan 17 Comment Many thanks for your comments, and for your tentative ID of the raptor. I will try to execute your suggestions. I think I can remove the leaves. I have not yet learned how to do selective sharpening in Lightroom, but will look it up and try it. Jan 9th
