Group Round C/R Comment Date Image
52 May 25 Reply Tom, thank you so much for your comments. There are most likely as many different interpretations of this image as there are viewers. The day I posted this image I saw a fellow on the right with corncob head, hands and legs. He seemed (to me) to be tugging at a purple curtain. On the left I saw a green tunnel leading perhaps into Spring. So I imagined a creature pulling back the shroud of winter. Today I see a prize fighter on the mat, floored by a KO.

52 May 25 Reply Thanks Pamela. I have been timid about trying out my new tripod and gimble. I am terrified that the camera/lens will fall off and be dashed on the rocks in the garden. The advice I received this round from you and others has inspired me to gather courage and get on with it. Many thanks May 20th
52 May 25 Reply Many thanks Polly! You are right - there are two images here. I just couldnt bring myself to pull them apart. May 20th
52 May 25 Reply Many thanks Mike!! I appreciate your encouragement and suggestions. May 20th
52 May 25 Reply I LOVE Janie"s work, and her site New Life Photos is a great inspiration. THANK YOU for leading me to it. May 15th
52 May 25 Reply These are wonderful suggestions. I had not considered the lensbaby. Thank you. May 14th
52 May 25 Comment Many thanks Ally. I will address that stamen. May 12th
52 May 25 Comment This image is SPECTACULAR! The story, action and crisp silhouettes, the sharp detail in the feathers and nest twigs, the pure uncluttered background, and the black against the glowing orange combine in striking wall-worthy and winning composition. May 11th
52 May 25 Comment Great crop. The curves of the branches and bird lead my attention through the image, and the repeated colors in the bird and flowers balance it nicely. The bird's head may be a bit too bright. I particularly like the contrast between the fierce glare of the birds eyes and the coy tilt of his head. May 11th
52 May 25 Comment That seagull is beautiful. I like the repetition of grey and white in the feathers, rocks and waves. The red beak, legs, feet and circle around his eye are wonderful. I really like the contrast between the action of the crashing waves and the bird's stoic stance. The triangle formed the orange brown material on the top left, bottom right and upper diagonal rock lead my eye around the image. What is that interesting brown material? May 10th
52 May 25 Comment Great story and composition here, and the birds are all very sharp. My attention is initially drawn to the parent's eye, then down the beak to the hatchlings and finally to the egg. I would loosen the crop to include more of the parent's neck. If this is not for competition I would darken the background. Where was the nest with respect to your camera? May 10th
52 May 25 Comment I too am trying to capture birds in flight and I know how difficult it can be. You nailed these guys. I like the simplicity, symmetry and balance of the image. The two soaring birds on the right are well balanced by the active flapping of the bird on the left. I find it amazing that all three birds are sharp at f/6.3. Does the sony have eye tracking? What is "+ IEV"? May 10th
52 May 25 Comment The story and composition are strong. Your persistence in finding a shot with an egg paid off. My attention goes right to those bright and watchful eyes, and then follows the downward-pointing beak to the elusive egg. The eyes and egg form a compositional bonus triangle. The clarity and sharpness of the birds in the original look stronger in the original. The image is both wall and competition worthy. Good luch in competition! May 10th

79 May 25 Comment The texture and structure, and your decision to present it in B&W add to your creative interpretation of the landscape. I think it is the eye of a very old elephant. How did it do in competition? May 18th
79 May 25 Comment This image is captivating. The longer I look at it the more I see and imagine. The pavement orientation is particularly intriguing and inspires thoughts of beings walking into a new dimension. The "icicle" on the right adds a chilly affect. This image is a fine example of what I love about Fine Art Photography. May 18th
79 May 25 Comment The variety of colors make this reflection special. I especially like the green swirl on the left. The original image has greater complexity and is more interesting. May 18th
79 May 25 Comment I love this image Hanoch. I sense a creator staring at a blank canvas with infinite possibilities. It brings to mind Alan Lightman's book: "In Praise of Wasting Time". We need to strip the canvas of our mind from distractions to allow our creativity to emerge. I considered sharpening or darkening the figure a bit, but then I realized that in its softness it better represents the creator In Statu Nascendi. May 17th
79 May 25 Comment Amazing what AI sharpening does. I agree with Karl's comments. I think the super sharpened bee will be interesting in an abstract. I love the way you incorporated you signature. May 17th
79 May 25 Comment Thanks Lauren
