60 Aug 25 Reply Thanks Rita. Aug 20th
60 Aug 25 Reply Thanks Diana; I did look at the B/W conversion image. Aug 20th
60 Aug 25 Comment Anne,
Your description helped me understand what the image was showing. This might be a case where a wider field of view would help provide more of the story - I don't know if that would work without seeing the original. Zoo images sometimes are difficult because of the artificial and distracting backgrounds. I think shutter speeds in some cameras can be divisions of the whole f stop settings. If possible when taking images of animals, force the camera to spot focus on the eyes or face.		 Aug 11th
60 Aug 25 Comment Diana,
My white balance sometimes mysteriously gets changed and that can take a while to figure out why the images are looking different.
I like your crop - good detail and especially the very important eye.
Those halos can appear with bright backgrounds and certain types of post processing effects. There are many discussions of this on the internet; Matt Kloskowski might be a good resource.		 Aug 11th
60 Aug 25 Reply It looks fine on my monitor. Aug 11th
60 Aug 25 Comment Erin,
B&W for sure. I like the dark background against the light water beads on the web. It looks like a necklace.		 Aug 10th
60 Aug 25 Comment Agreed; lighten the right side of the face; maybe add a vignette. Aug 10th

69 Aug 25 Reply I might be able to remove that branch but then I would need to replace the missing feathers. Too much work, if possible. Aug 13th
69 Aug 25 Reply Thanks for the reminder Pierre. I hopefully assume that a bird on a perch will sit still but of course that's not always, or even usually, the case so a higher shutter speed makes sense. Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Comment Diane,
The image is quite small so not sure what happened; maybe a large crop? I think it would be better to include the petals on the bottom which were cut-off, if possible. I do like the white against the dark background.		 Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Comment Jacob,
Surprizingly clear image for a phone pic. I agree with Mervyn - let's see some pics with that new camera.		 Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Comment Cindy,
I like the visual arc from the head to back to the coiled tail. Quite an interesting animal. Agree with Mervyn on the edits.		 Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Comment Pierre,
I find the contrast between the lime green soft background and the bright yellow/orange of the Oriole to be quite striking.		 Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Comment Mervyn,
Normally having foreground which occludes the subject is a disadvantage but in this case I think the grass is sparse enough that it provides a see-though screen which adds a sense of context and cover. The soft lighting on the lion's face is quite nice too and the perspective of the lion on the high ground is excellent. I think this is a very nice image.		 Aug 6th
69 Aug 25 Reply Thanks Mervin. You're right about the perspective; pretty much looking straight up. Aug 6th
