52	Feb 26	Reply	It is amazing that you got that shot from a moving vehicle. Bravo!	Feb 21st
52	Feb 26	Comment	This amazing image appeals to me on many levels. The action is intense and every bit of it is in sharp focus. The crisp lines and high key background bring to my mind Japanese ink drawings. The crop leaves just enough grass for context without detracting from the affect. This piece of photographic art belongs on a museum wall. Who won?	Feb 20th
52	Feb 26	Comment	What massive and peculiar creatures these are. Where was this site, and how far did you have to go to reach it? I would darken the background, both top and bottom, as they are very bright and compete with the seals for my attention. What is the object in front of Beach Master (broken jug?). I would keep the blobular female "rocks" in the image. They are part of the story and mystery for me.	Feb 20th
52	Feb 26	Comment	What an action shot! It looks like the Serengeti Olympics. I would experiment with the crop. As presented the sky is dominant. While those clouds add interest to the sky, they compete with the action for my attention. I would crop to reduce the band of sky and the space on the left. If pixels are a concern, I would run the image through Topaz Gigapixel. The next time you witness a Cheetah race I would increase the camera speed and ISO and decrease the aperture to F8. Were you in a moving vehicle? Getting a shot like this must be very difficult. BRAVO.	Feb 20th
52	Feb 26	Comment	I love your crop. The detail is amazing. That eye's intense stare radiates a level of determination that prompts storytelling. Bravo!	Feb 20th
52	Feb 26	Comment	Great action shot with a tragic story - from that vole's perspective. I agree that a vignette and toning down the green would shift the contrast in favor of the egret, but I also love the image as is for it provides a touch of hope for Spring to arrive.	Feb 20th
52	Feb 26	Comment	Wonderful composition. The antlers and head form a strong diagonal, and the chest hairs also show a diagonal flair. But it is the eye that is most remarkable to me. Light falls right on that eye while the rest of the head is dark. I also love the light on the antlers. The bright foreground and Elk rear end pull my attention away from these elements. Mike's low key version removes these distractions, intensifies the band of fog, and brings out the rich red colors in the Elk.	Feb 19th

79	Feb 26	Reply	Thanks Lauren. I like the crop and vignette suggestion. I will. explore it.	Feb 20th
79	Feb 26	Reply	Thank you for your comment and suggestion Yan. I will explore lightening for contrast.	Feb 19th
79	Feb 26	Comment	Our sharing a water theme this month reinforces my longing for the melting of winter's ice and snow. The diagonal zones of water, reflection and shadows form a pleasing and interesting abstract composition. Your processing enriched the element of color. My eyes dance around the alternating blues and yellows, leap over the jagged black and white diagonals, and rest upon the back of the large orange fish (viewer's interpretative license). There is even an element of pareidolia. Tony Sweet recently gave an inspiring talk to our camera club as well.	Feb 19th
79	Feb 26	Comment	What a splendid critter convention! The clutter of dead leaves and twigs adds to the challenge of discovering the cheery creatures. I particularly like the ghostly sprite emerging from the lower left of the image. This image is a fine example of a fun photo.	Feb 19th
79	Feb 26	Comment	The zones of beach, water, mountains and sky in this image form a pleasing composition, and there are several strong elements of interest. The glow of the setting sun on the mountain on the right is lovely. The blue of the water competes with that glow for my attention, and it seems more intense than indicated by the original image. I would try reducing the intensity of the blue for a more natural look, and to bring more attention to the golden mountain top. The patterns in the beach add interest, but the texture looks over processed. Was the camera hand-held or on a tripod? The image looks soft, were you were aiming for an impressionistic effect? This is a strong composition. My suggestions reflect my perspective. What guided your processing decisions?	Feb 19th
