2 Sep 25 Reply Thanks for interesting thoughts. Actually the Egrets were brightened to the maximum before losing definition. I did get some clearer and closer images a few bursts later on but without the cloud color. Yes, right to left is usually more static I think, but can work well sometimes. Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Shirley. Yes, took out that bird in post! But by doing so disqualified the image from Nature. However, a bit later on some more Egrets came in sets of threes and fives making a better composition although the light had subsided with the setting sun. Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Karen. Yes, they soon settled into some dense bush behind me with greetings from previous flocks - so quite a noisy community in there with some Great Egrets in the mix. Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Comment Great concept and result. The original is also good because the coat matches some of the background pillars and I would argue places the lady in the museum. When you convert the coat to match, the museum floor becomes out of place and slightly problematic - perhaps it could convert to a reddish hue as well? Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Comment Very interesting subject and study in greens with the striking complimentary orange/red lights coming from the sheds. The photographer on the pier looks to be from another planet adding to the mystery! Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Comment Perfect placement and simplistic composition. The shells fit well between the lines of the board and you have a great and supportive color mix. F/16 has caught everything with a perfect background blur! The concept of broken eggs reminds me of the Japanese art form known as "kintsugi", representing breakage and repair with profound reverence in contrast to discarding as would usually be the case with egg shells!

2 Sep 25 Comment Great capture of the light on the trees with a touch of fall in some of the leaves. A beautiful bridge - I wish we had such well-crafted footbridges in Oklahoma!
Symmetry is often a debated question among our club members - and often the conclusion is "whatever works" - you have gone slightly off center while retaining the great curves on the wood railings on both sides. The gap on the right serves to show how deep down the river is and is informative but could distract slightly from the bridge as the main subject. 		Sep 16th
2 Sep 25 Comment Very interesting story behind the striking composition with lines and circles in the historical setting. Congrats on the praise the image has received. It reminds me of an ancient Greek structure and I imagine people gathering there and wonder what a wider view would look like. Sep 16th
