19 Jan 20 Reply Thanks all for your very helpful comments! Photographing wildlife is a challenge for me & I don't do it often. I was just lucky to get the shot. I'm fortunate that the Nikon D850 in combination with Topaz NR reduction can produce good images. Jan 30th
19 Jan 20 Comment Ann,
Wow! A great image! The bird is perfectly positioned in the frame & the splashing water really gives a sense of movement. The improvements made to the original image in post processing are terrific enhancements.

19 Jan 20 Comment Hi Marcela,
The image really does live up to its name...it speaks serenity. I also like the otherworldliness colors of the sky. Well done!

In terms of improvements I agree with John's suggestion for cropping.

Also, the `halo' on along the backs of the cattle may (?) mean the image was a bit oversharpened (?) either in the camera or in post processing...You may want to play with the sharpening sliders to see what happens.

19 Jan 20 Comment Hi Stan,
Great street shot!...Its always a challenge to capture the right moment & I think this image does it well.
My only question is whether you think it would be an enhancement to crop up from the bottom--to eliminate a small bit of the street and in from the left?

19 Jan 20 Comment Harriet,
Compared to the original I too like the use of texture in this image and the almost pastel like colors. I also like the leading line of the fence on the right.
Nice job!

Some thoughts: would using a smaller aperture--say f 5.6 or f8 help with more depth of field (since your ISO is 80 there is certainly iso `room' to do this if shooting auto iso.

Also ,would making the image `tighter' by cropping out the tree on the left be an enhancement?

19 Jan 20 Comment Hi John,

A wonderful image...the black & white treatment works well!

...Some thoughts...Do you think cropping up on the boat holder and leaving a bit more room to the right of the bow would be an enhancement?
