52 Feb 18 Comment Tom, many thanks! I must confess I did not see that hair until you pointed it out. You have a GREAT eye. iPhones are sure getting better and better-especially when all I have in hand when an opportunity presents itself is an iPhone. Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply Sharon, thanks for your kind words and suggestion. It was the shadows that initially drew my eye to this scene. I did try to remove the shadows to intensify the minimalism, but I am not good enough with the tools in Lightroom/Photoshop to maintain the integrity of the bricks. Thus I stayed with the shadows for now. Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply Thank you so very much! Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply Many thanks. I took your suggestion and like the result. See my reply to Mike. Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply Thanks so very much. I did crop it as you and Mike suggested, and like the result. See my reply to Mike. Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply Many thanks for your suggestion. I did crop the image closer and eliminated most of the shadow. I submitted the final image to the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography. It will be interesting to see if it is selected. Feb 21st
52 Feb 18 Reply John, thanks for clarifying. I have never been there. Those rocks are magnificent. Having never seen rocks so intensely colored I thought a more muted effect would be preferable. I am just beginning to experiment with HDR. It is indeed powerful. Feb 7th

52 Feb 18 Comment BEAUTIFUL! I am initially drawn to the white on blue, the yellow in the feet and peak. Then the lines and patterns emerge: parallel curves of wing feathers, leading lines of beak pointing in direction of flight, the repetition of patterns in the feet and tree branches, a multitude of triangles. This image is at the same time simple AND complex. AND it is all tack sharp. WONDERFUL! Feb 7th
52 Feb 18 Comment Wonderful action. The leading line of the branch propels the eye in the direction of the bird's flight. The graceful upturned feathers on the Osprey's right wing (well, left for the bird) contrast sharply with the fierce claws. Great expressions, great story. Feb 7th
52 Feb 18 Comment Great leading lines. The rocks in the foreground lead my eyes up to the trees, and the amber in the treetops holds them for a while. There is a wonderful leading line slopping down from right to left, but it abruptly ends. If possible, I would include more image to the left to extend that line. The rocks are rich in color variations, but the adjustments give them an unreal appearance. This is especially true of the vivid blue rock just to the left and under center. I would lessen the post process pop. Feb 7th
52 Feb 18 Comment I love the happy expression on that bird's face. The glaring eye diminishes the feeling of contentment. I would back off on the crop. I like the near foreground rock (what is the round object on the far right ) and reflection in the original. Upon enlargement a halo appears around the bird (there seems to be a more pronounced and global halo in the original). I would lessen some of the post processing. The prey is rather soft. The colors are very pleasing. Feb 7th
52 Feb 18 Comment I love this image. Where did you take it? The silk water is pleasing and exciting (I see a waterfall sprite dashing through the water and away from the rocks). The streaks of sunlight on the rocks and moss add even more interest. I would try to remove some of the glare in the rocks (lower highlights?) as it draws my eyes from the water. Great composition: the waterfall is well framed by the branches. Feb 7th
52 Feb 18 Comment Wonderful composition, focus and color. The lines formed by the bird's bodies provide an interesting, dynamic balance. The line formed by the legs and wings of the arriving bird intersects that of the bird's body. The bird's head and raised wing form arcs that lead in opposite directions. Just to the right and back, two beaks point towards each other, while heads to the far right face opposite directions. Feb 7th
