2 Mar 26 Comment Train or no train, the image is exceptional! My first thought was that it could be a Roman aquaduct but too far north for that. Then to counter my disbelief I found images of the train on the same bridge in Adobe stock! Quod erat demonstratum!

2 Mar 26 Comment I agree with Shirley, that you have captured a wonderful image with a fascinating story contrasting with the peacefulness of the scene. Placing of the sun and sunburst are additional assets. The small red circle in the trees could possibly be removed? Mar 4th
2 Mar 26 Comment Thanks for a lesson in novel soft focus technique and great result. The original seems to have even more of the dreamy look and could do well on its own...perhaps in a black frame or 7 pixel score round the edge? Mar 4th
2 Mar 26 Comment Perfection! Minimalism at it's best. The way you handled the water in relation to the feather is perfect and not overdone. Looks like overcast or low light conditions. Mar 4th
2 Mar 26 Comment Jim, thanks for a fascinating background account. The bird's eye is dominant and contributes the most and the feather texture is superb. Great handling of the background and choice to leave just a few streaks, however I think more space at the top would help position of the eye in the image possibly on a one third line? Also it's fascinating that in the original there is one leg consistent with a one-legged perch and a point of interest - I vote to include it with a bit of de-shadowing. Mar 4th
2 Mar 26 Comment Thanks for the encouraging comment. Yes it does take a few tries to establish the speed of the camera movement relative to the burst rate which I have increased from 12 to 20/sec with first curtain electronic. I am learning that selection of the subject is important. Mar 4th
