60 Mar 26 Reply Agreed; truncated objects, especially people, on the edges of the image are to be avoided, if possible. Mar 28th
60 Mar 26 Reply Thanks Ranmali. Mar 24th
60 Mar 26 Reply Thanks Ann. Mar 23rd
60 Mar 26 Reply Thanks Rita. Yes, I liked it there and plan to go back next year. Mar 22nd
60 Mar 26 Reply Karen,
Making the sky brighter is an option. At some point, it becomes too bright for my taste. Judgment call.

60 Mar 26 Reply Diana,
Yes, taking many images and stacking them is the usual approach. I was surprised this worked so well.

60 Mar 26 Reply That makes more sense now. Mar 11th
60 Mar 26 Reply Nice; congrats. Mar 10th
60 Mar 26 Comment Rita,
This is a pleasing wildlife image. The main attraction are the babies being escorted between the parents. I find the foreground a bit distracting - might darken it with a gradient or brush.

60 Mar 26 Comment To me, this is an exotic image. I like the pattern and color of the mosque. The two couples in the foreground lend some interest and a bit of mystery to the image. The crop works well. Where is Colombo? Mar 10th
60 Mar 26 Comment Diana,
This is an interesting sports action image. I like that you were able to get a frontal perspective of both the rider and the calf. The shutter speed was well selected to capture the action without blur. I expect the following frames would have caught some action too as the slack was taken up. Was the calf tied up or just roped - I don't know much about calf roping.

60 Mar 26 Comment Anne,
I hope your back is doing better. It would probably hurt my back to have to look up at such a vertical angle to take this picture. This image must have been taken with a wide angle lens since you captured a large area of varied colors and geometric shapes. It is a visually complex image with vibrant colors and geometry.

60 Mar 26 Comment Karen,
It is impressive that you can get such a sharp image with the slow shutter speed and low ISO - modern cameras are amazing. I like this pastoral scene. The soft, foggy background and sharper foreground provide an excellent sense of depth to the image. I think leaving all the cows in the image would have been fine or having an odd number by including the one on the left.

69 Mar 26 Reply It is another photo challenge to learn about. I have enjoyed it. Mar 11th
69 Mar 26 Comment Jacob,
I find that's the major drawback of photography in a zoo - having to shoot through a glass partition or a fence. Good work in removing the reflection. This sleeping bear isn't a very photogenic image since it isn't doing much of anything that's interesting. Also, it seems a bit dark overall and low contrast. It might have been a bit more interesting if you could have zoomed in on the face, but it still would have been a snoozing bear.

69 Mar 26 Reply Thanks Pierre; I am torn between a better exposure and making it look too much line daytime. Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Reply Yes, I have messed around with the foreground quite a bit. The challenge is to get the hillside lighter but not the parking lot. Still working on it. Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Reply Yes, thanks. I have the Starry Landscape Stacker software. Mar 3rd
69 Mar 26 Reply Thanks; I would like the color crop too. Mar 3rd
69 Mar 26 Reply Jaswant,
Yes, five individual landscape orientation (horizontal) were stitched together in LR. This is the first time I have tried to make a pano of the MW. I have since removed the brighter areas at the bottom and removed some of the satellite trails. The coma is as minimal with this lens as I can get by minimizing the exposure to only 13 seconds. Thanks.

69 Mar 26 Comment Jaswant,
What an exotic image and majestic animal. It looks like you got the tiger to pose with studio side lighting. I'd like to see the original before conversion.

69 Mar 26 Comment Cindy,
What a place to be with all those eagles, in spite of the cold. I like the lighting, sharpness, and the captured action in this image. A very good nature photo.

69 Mar 26 Comment Pierre,
What amazing eyes and nice bokeh - so what's the story behind this striking image? I assume this wasn't taken in your backyard?
Mar 3rd
69 Mar 26 Comment Mervyn,
Lots of stripes in this image. I like that juxtaposition of the front view and the sides views and the heads down and head up - a very interesting nature image.
