69 Jul 18 Comment Thanks for all the feedback! I've cropped the grass and from the left. I've put a warming filter in the center and then removed it from the clouds.

I lightened the grass, painting with the sunlight color, to leave a slight sunlit grass path (too much?) as Donna had demonstrated much more proficiently. I lightened the purple hill strip the trees fall in, so they stood out a bit more realistically.

Better? Overdone? 		Jul 15th
69 Jul 18 Comment I can't wait to see more of your efforts in Astro, Rob! I think the rock is very fun and different, and love the wavy mountains and sprinkle of stars. Creative effort! Jul 15th
69 Jul 18 Reply Donna, thanks for the very clear explanation on the nature vs general cropping and how nature judges would look for a certain crop compared to Facebook. Very useful info!

69 Jul 18 Comment I agree with everyone else--the light through the ears is the best part and their focus on you. The darkness on their face is a tad distressing...I don't know if you could do a little dodging and lighten them just a tiny bit. Lucky shot! Jul 15th
69 Jul 18 Comment Sorry, this must have been posted after I saw the first round. I didn't know about bug hatches! I really like the branches and the reflection, locations didn't bother me, although I'm sure there are lots of variations available to this capture. It looks a tad saturated on my screen, but no one else mentioned it, so it must be me. We do not get those intense sunsets in Indiana! Jul 15th
69 Jul 18 Comment Beautiful capture, Donna! Super sharp focus, gorgeous feathers, crisp branches. I like how he's more interesting with his back to us, but his head at a 90 degree angle, very classic.

I am sure you have a reason for so much room above his head. I'd be interested in your thinking, as I would have cropped it lower.

I've never seen a yellow crowned heron, so this was a treat!		 Jul 5th
69 Jul 18 Comment Interesting subject, Candy! Well in focus, great contrast. An eye-catching abstract. I found the chopped off trunk to be distracting, so perhaps cropping down to remove it? In trying that, the root almost looks like a body with "hands" reaching out.

The dark cut in the bottom right is also distracting. Perhaps cloning it out is an option. 		Jul 5th
69 Jul 18 Comment Very sharp--those claws, the branch, the tail feathers! And nice catchlight in his eye. Black birds are the toughest to get, as their definition is so hard to see, but I think you've done an admirable job.

Is the light behind the bird natural, or did you lighten it to show off the bird better? Perhaps its a branch? It seems a bit too light and I found it distracting. I'll be interested what our bird experts say. 		Jul 5th
