52 Oct 22 Comment Wonderful composition. Even the leaf hairs are sharp. The low key minimalist treatment is very effective. I especially like the curved proboscis. The way the antenna is pointing to the right reminds me of a pointer dog. There is a story here. Oct 25th
52 Oct 22 Comment Great job getting the bird sharp. I agree that the crop is too tight, tnd the bird could be lightened. While straightening the horizon improves most images, because you were on a moving boat it might be interesting to leave the position of the horizon unchanged. The horizon and bird then contribute an interesting diagonal to the overall composition. Because the water is more interesting than the sky, I would crop to reduce the sky and increase the water.

52 Oct 22 Comment The poor little fellow! You have captured a great story here. The rusty brown fur and red berries against the white snow are pleasing. I like Mike's brightening. The high key treatment communicates the stark cold winter day well. You might try a horizontal flip. I agree with Sharon that this is great holiday card material. Oct 25th
52 Oct 22 Comment Great job isolating this butterfly from the cluttered environment. The horizontal flip feels perfect. The colors in the background bokeh are pleasing and blend well with the in-focus flower and butterfly. The bent angle of his head and the proboscis tell the story of a hard working and hungry insect. The flower is brighter than the insect and thus takes center stage. I would try brightening the insect to bring first attention to him. Oct 25th
52 Oct 22 Comment Striking image. The bird is so sharp one can see the tiny feathers. The wary stare as he peeks from behind the tree tells a great story. Your camera settings worked perfectly to bring attention to the bird by blurring the tree and background. The complementary colors are pleasing. This is a keeper.

52 Oct 22 Comment Wonderful composition. The nearly monochrome works well. What was in the background that gave that warm beige color? There are many compositional elements that add to the image's appeal, notably the triangles formed by the bird's leg and wing, legs, and the bird's body and the mouse. The opposing diagonals of the tree stump and bird, the parallel mouse, tail and stump further enrich the composition. The repeating splashes of grey in the bird, mouse and stump draw the eyes round and round the image. Post processing is artfully done, however I think that the original image has more to say. The barbed wire places the bird on a fence, and the shackle on the bird's leg adds mystery. The mouse is clearly dead and the cause of its death adds to the mystery. I do believe that you have two fine images here. Oct 24th

79 Oct 22 Comment A technical masterpiece. Every time I see one of your droplet images I am inspired to try the technique. The dancer on the right is holding a "branch", and the dress of the dancer on the left appears to be edged with a vine. What are these and how did you incorporate them? My pareidolia is having a field day. Oct 26th
79 Oct 22 Comment Fascinating image. I really like the colors and low key treatment. Because only the hands and feet are identifiable, many stories can be told. Oct 26th
79 Oct 22 Comment Great image. How did you get the background shot? I prefer the original to the version with the reflection as the original looks more mysterious. I like thatyou have negative space in front of the image into which the boat can sail/drift. Oct 26th
79 Oct 22 Comment I love reflections, and this one is magical. I would tone down the harsh colors, and crop a bit. I see a creature looking to the left with outstretched arms. Perhaps he is a water sprite. Oct 26th
79 Oct 22 Comment I like the composition. Like others, I find the image over processed. Try leaving the colors natural. I played with the orientation and found that by flipping both vertically and horizontally the green leaf diagonal leads the eye right to the flower. Oct 26th
