52 Dec 24 Comment The subject, light and action are wonderful! The crop is perfect. The position of the iguana gives him space to swing into should he choose. The diagonal (green leaves) and curved (tail, branch) lines add motion to the composition. The iguana's head looks a little soft. I would try to sharpen it a bit. The colors and background bokeh are pleasing. The "fingers", "toes" and their nails, and the bristles running down the back of his head are interesting details. This image catches my attention, and holds it. Dec 14th
52 Dec 24 Comment Great action shot that tells a happy/tragic tale of life in the wild. The expressions are amazing: the otter looks joyous, but the poor catfish looks simply stunned. I agree that the background could be deemphasized. Dec 14th
52 Dec 24 Comment Beautiful landscape! The image is rich in textures and in leading and diagonal lines that take me on a journey throughout the image. I love the brown grassland between the swaths of golden trees, the lines of sharp pointed pines, and the zig zag diagonal line of green. The misty mountain range in the background is restful and contrasts well with the bold colors of the trees. Great composition! Dec 14th
52 Dec 24 Comment Wonderful action, story, texture, detail, colors. The background bokeh and color are marvelous. The detail in that log, the meal and the play of light on the feathers are fun to explore. That said, I would experiment with Mike's and Polly's suggestions. Even a stunning image can be improved.

52 Dec 24 Comment WONDERFUL!! You captured an intimate and tender moment. The detail is marvelous. I love the horn and arc of fur in your crop. Seeing the legs emphasizes the huge size of the head. I like Mike's addition of vibrance and contrast. This image is definitely wall worthy. Dec 14th
52 Dec 24 Comment The textures in the driftwood pieces are wonderful. I also see interesting textures and colors in the water. I would try to enhance them. The wave below the horizon doesn't bother me, in fact I find it interesting. I like the small piece of driftwood in the foreground; it has interesting textures and lines. The original image also grabbed my attention. I would crop the image from the left a bit, just to remove the small branches top left and the left side of the large driftwood piece on the left. The remaining pieces then lie on a pleasing diagonal. I would also lower the highlights on the top, and add vibrancy to bring out the water colors. I think you have two great images here. Dec 14th

79 Dec 24 Comment I like this abstract. Because the birds face different directions, they each have a display a different color, even though they are all similarly colored. Some look nearly spherical due to their positions and the angle at which you photographed them. The overall effect suggests that the viewer is looking at a multicolored collection of holiday ornaments displayed in a most unusual setting. Dec 15th
79 Dec 24 Comment And a very merrie holiday to you Karl! I love your card and the ingenious techniques you applied to its creation. There appears to be an evergreen tree in the background. It is in pleasing bokeh. How far was it from the tack sharp Belsnickel? Thank you for introducing me to the Belsnickel. May he/she feed your creativity well this year. Dec 15th
79 Dec 24 Comment I love distorted reflections in water. The way that rotations alter the interpretation and affect of an image is is fascinating, and your rotation of this image to a vertical orientation is particularly interesting. I see many tall thin warriors in full ceremonial garb in the vertical orientation, but in the horizontal original this abstract does not reveal warriors. Both are pleasing. I might have included the boat (or part of it) for yet another story. Dec 15th
79 Dec 24 Comment I like the composition with its diagonal lines, triangles, textures and colors. The image does look a bit over processed. I would cut back on the saturation and contrast, and perhaps the clarity. The abstract look could be enhanced by cropping the blue sky down to the tip of the tallest grey peak. This will create two blue inverted shapes that fit in well with the others. Dec 15th
79 Dec 24 Comment I like your processing. It created an interesting extraterrestrial creature. In the original, ET looks concave with the cloverleaf at the bottom of a bowel. Processed, he looks convex. I like the horizontal flip. The crop looks tight to me. The jellyfish to the right of ET has wonderful tendrills, and is in a different position. I would try a different crop that would include the tendrilled one, and provide more room for them to move about as though they were in outer space. Dec 15th
79 Dec 24 Reply Many thanks Karl! The many interpretations of abstracts is fascinating to me. I did not see that burning cross, but having read your comment I can see it. I will take your suggestion of printing it on metallic paper. Thank you.
