16 May 19 Comment The flowers are beautiful, but I agree that it's too crowded. I would crop it more severely to make the stand-out poppy the "centerpiece" by placing it in the upper right power point of the rule of thirds. Then the blurring of the background photos is perfect, and the purple flowers stand out as a lovely secondary focus. I've attached my crop for your consideration.

16 May 19 Comment Wonderful photo of the bird in motion. It looks quite sharp to me. Your high shutter speed served you well. I would flip the bird horizontally. The eye generally moves from left to right - maybe because that's how we read? - and when I start on the left, I hit a road block of the wing. If it were reversed, my eye would start at the tail feathers and swoop rightward and upward into your image.

I would leave the rest of the reflection in the image and cut out a bit of the background, which I find too dark for a photo with a reflection. Maybe use a blue similar to the water?		 May 11th
16 May 19 Comment The mountains are beautiful, and I like that you have people enjoying a beautiful day on those mountains.

You got the full lovely cloud in the center of the sky. I can't decide if I prefer the entire cloud, or if the photo would be better using the rule of thirds to crop out some of the sky and put more focus on the mountains and the people, instead of the current 1/2 and 1/2 with the sky dominating the image.

16 May 19 Comment Beautiful animals and flowers - you were in the right place at the right time and got a wonderful "pose" of the Mom and Pup. Good cropping.

I find the purple flowers on the right a bit over-saturated.

You didn't give us the f-stop and shutter speed, but I'm feeling that a higher f-stop (less wide open lens) and a higher shutter speed would have given you better sharpness for the animals.		 May 11th
16 May 19 Comment Walter, what a beautiful image of swans! They are a pleasure to look at - with wings spread and splashing water below, both looking forward, and over great reflections.

I would straighten the horizon line for the weeds and the swans' wake. Also I would crop a little from the top and right to take out the piece of a duck in the water and a little of the weeds.		 May 11th
16 May 19 Comment The little frog is great. I can see why you composed around it. Depth of field is good, with the background blurred out. The diagonal placements of the attractive cement fountain is a wonderful addition to the composition.

I would lighten and unsaturate a little the yellows and greens in the background, and lighten the yellow in the border.		 May 11th
