I like the sharp plummage of your blue heron and the sharpness of rock in the foreground. To my eyes, the background distracts from the bird's majestic stance. |

I like the stance and detail of your robbin. It is your robbin since you captured him...I like that he is looking out into space. Makes me wonder what he is looking at and the story begins. Since the robin lives in your neighborhood, perhaps you can be ready with Norm's settings but for your picture now, I would follow Harriet's suggestions - darken the background even more and only leave the green grass in the foreground. |

Not only did you get the spring flowers in the foreground but you also framed the marina inside the high arch of the bridge. Good composition with leading lines and repetition.

Hi Harriet,
Your life is so interesting and you have all these wonderful creatures to photograph. It makes me nostalgic of my time living in our farm.
Norm's suggestion to use PS to try to make the lower hen stand out more may work. Another thing you might try is to lighten the area where the hens meet. Background is perfect. It makes the hens stand out. You could straighten the picture a little to make the foreground piece of wood appear to be straight.
Great picture, Harriet. |

Hi John,
In my opinion, the tilt of the boat adds tension to the picture which most of the time is desirable. I like the exposure, lighting, sharpness and color harmony of this picture. I am not familiar with the Topaz filter you used but it seems to have made the boat pop out of the water. I agree with Norm and Barbara that you might want to consider cropping a little from the bottom to keep the focus on the boat. |

I love the patina on these old tools and the light you chose highlights them best. As someone who is not familiar with tools, my brain would better absorb fewer tools at one time. As it is, I would suggest a little more contrast and a vignette. |

Hi Nelson,
What can I say. I looked and looked to try to say something that had not been said and could not find anything. You and your camera make art. |

Hi Bob,
I like the sharpness of your entire flower. When I try to photograph this kind of flower, I can get the stamens and some of the petals sharp, but not the entire flower like you did. I do think the wire background distracts from the beauty of your flower. If you wanted to take the fencing background from the picture, you might want to try the new remove background on the Property panel of Photoshop. They have made it very easy to do so in a flower like yours. |

I like the idea of the sequins reflecting light on her face. Somehow it seems so romantic; however, at first glance, I was confused as to what those spots were. After I knew what it was, I liked it. If it were my picture, I would use Soft Light blending to bring her out more from the background. |
