52 May 23 Comment Welcome to 52 Tammie! Your image is stunning. I love the minimalist effect that the black background creates. As Mike pointed out the bird is tack sharp and has a nice catch light in his eye. There are several pleasing compositional elements. The diagonal lines formed by the bird's body and the plant stem together with the horizontal wing form a triangle. The diagonal bird leads the eye to the flower, and the flower points right back to the bird. Your patience really paid off. May 11th
52 May 23 Comment Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will experiment with them and see what emerges. May 10th
52 May 23 Comment Mike, I love this composition. The complementary colors of the fence and background immediately draw my attention. The bird is tack sharp, and has a sweet expression. The catch light in her eye reflects her alertness. The parallel and horizontal alignment of the bird and fence against the parallel and vertical tree ghosts in the background add interest. Best of all is the mottling of the bird that is repeated in the fence. May 9th
52 May 23 Comment Ann, what is the name of this majestic bird? He posed for you. I like your crop as it eliminates some of the dark green leaves, and leaves just the right amount of negative space for him to peer into. My eyes follow the reddish color from the tree up the bird to that piercing eye, and down the beak. That color is very pleasing against the blue sky. The bird is remarkably sharp given that your camera was hand-held and you were in a boat. May 9th
52 May 23 Comment You did a fine job of isolating that fellow. He looks like he is dancing, or whispering a secret. The reddish brown feathers look very pleasing against the bluish background. The catch light in his eye and the detail in the feathers add interest. I might experiment with increasing the negative space. Their beaks are remarkably long and thin, in spite of their name. On what do they feed? A shot of a cluster of them would also be lovely, especially if they tend to go in crowds. May 9th
52 May 23 Comment Sharon, this is a wonderful botanical reminiscent of those by Renaissance painters. The curves lead my eyes all around the canvas, and form pleasing triangular elements. The colors are soft as Spring and really pop against the white background. The detail in the leaf veins holds my attention. It will make terrific note cards, and be eye-catching on your wall. I hope you will post other botanicals from your series. May 9th

79 May 23 Comment Amazing shot! My first reaction was of looking up into a domed ceiling. When I saw your side picture I marveled at your precise positioning of the camera. Your removal of the light fixtures in post processing reveals the artistry of the design. There is just one tiny artifact: it looks like a small horizontal crack just left of center bottom rim. I don't see it in the original. This image would make both a great memory prompt and notecard. May 13th
79 May 23 Comment The compositing was technically very good. Your including the shadow of the "doorfrog" added a sense of reality. The frogs behind the green door are out of focus. Perhaps that adds to the story. May 13th
79 May 23 Comment You captured the power and terror as well as the stage lighting of this scene perfectly. May 13th
79 May 23 Comment That expression of pure contentment is wonderful, and remarkable to a human in view of the environment. I see this image as a photojournalist statement on the pig condition, as reality rather than fine art. For Fine Art as I see it, less says much more. The partial pig and the little ball are not necessary. I agree with Karl's suggestion of an uncluttered head on shot. Bravo on seeing the contrast (from the human perspective) between the pig's expression and its environment. May 13th
79 May 23 Reply Oh my. That was not at all the image I wanted to create. You are right, it does look rather like a pencil drawing. I wanted to produce the illusion that the plane was being seen in memories, suspended in a past project. I am going back to the drawing board. May 11th
