Jsu a fantastic image and I love it in B&W. There is not one thing I can add to this gorgeous image.....other than I would print it and hang it on my wall! Awesome cloud formation. And those mountains set it off nicely!

WOW! Beyond our comprehension, but Hong Kong has an enormous number of people living in a small land space. What is remarkable is there are 2 different architectural styles presented in this image, one clearly more contemporary than the others. My mind can't quite wrap around how close the living spaces are! The view is unique and the sky really stands out in the mass of apartments! I don't think any thing expands are education than visiting and traveling to other countries. Thanks for sharing! |

Beautiful still morning and lovely shot. I really like the boat in the image, tells me this is a peaceful time of day... the water is incredibly calm and soothes my eye as I look at the image. I would consider cropping as Butch suggested and lightening the shadows, there is beauty in those areas that would enhance the image even more. |

I like the image and reminds me of some of the farmlands here in USA, but without the hills. Most of our agriculture is done on flat acres of ground (though several exceptions when you get out in the northwestern part of the country). I think from your description that your country is like our midwestern farming states.
The lines on the small hills provide a uniqueness that enhances the landscape. The color and lines of the planting gives back in both sustenance and photo opportunities. I love the information about the unique cultivation ...and your country in general. Thanks for sharing.
I live in Florida now, and the flattest place I have ever lived. There is limited landscape opportunities here except for the beach with sunrises and sunsets looking onto the northern pats of the Everglades. |

Butch, Quite an accomplishments to get them all. I'm impress that was done handheld, and I totally get why...it was that or not get the shot. It is certainly worth the try. I like your angle, and the flow of the image, it draws your eyes into the rainbow. I think I might have toned down the brightness of the Cacti just a tad, my eye keeps wanting to come back to them, rather than stay with those rays and rainbow....but that is as much creators desire as viewers preferences .
Congratulations on a Trifecta so to speak! |

Thanks...I tried the Generative Fill and gave up...should have gone a little further. And it is indeed a nice city, and in particular the views from Mt. Washington! |

Interesting, I tried taking it into PS to remove said tree parts and a hotel that was in the scene to begin with, and the impact on the other side of the river was not very pleasing, so I just enlarged the tree a little to hide the hotel, which did work....You managed to get it looking much better than my attempt....did you do it in small pieces....or one large repair? Because I really do like yours a great deal better than my attempt. |

I agree the vignette could indeed show off those tail feathers a little more....but depends on what is behind it which may be why you put int he vignette to begin with. |

Cranes are one of the nicest birds to watch and photograph. We have some full time residents in South Florida, so I get to see them regularly, but in a different environment, there are one or two families that live near farm and a NWR, which provides them a source of corn, which apparently is their favorite grain! the large numbers makes for an exciting photography opportunity. You have a very nice shot, but I do agree with Gwen, darkening that background vegetation would enhance the image and make the beautiful golden color all the more striking. They certainly stand out nicely from the sky and water, and a darker tree line would compliment the overall picture to give more color range. |

Judy, I really like the black and white, and while the breeding colors on Florida birds enhance their beauty, the Great White Egret in breeding attire is mainly about their aigrette and the B&W shows the feathers off beautifully AND also diminishes the background nicely. Well done!! |

John, I have tried ICM and it was an utter flop! Several times. Just could not get the hang of it. On the other hand you certainly planned this extremely well and your result is quite stunning.Because I can't do something, doesn't mean I don't really appreciate it!
I think I might consider printing and framing this somewhere to encourage me to slow down and smell the roses!
Beautiful and creative! |

Welcome back to the States! Hope you missed the worst of the weather. Love this image. Having been a mother......I totally agree with her attitude:-) even if I'm not a monkey (but evolutionary wise not that far off). Hardest job I have ever had!! Love the composition, love the moment in time you captured, and perfectly sharp for both mother and baby.
a very small thing I might suggest....darken the tree they are on to make them pop just a little more than they do with the monotone (most likely she uses that tree for that very reason), but I think it would engage your audience more quickly! Just a thought, but as is is still outstanding !

Congratulations on a beautiful rainbow....looks like it is actually a double (or greater). And you certainly can't complain about the autumn colors! Gives a beautify forefront to the image. Thise bright yellows grab your eye and take them right to the rainbow!!! Very nice image. |

Leslie, this is in fact a male. The only way one can tell sex on the Mottled Duck is the male beak is a brighter Orange/Yellow and he has a black mark on the beak that is not present in the female. These ducks are permanent residents in South Florida. We also have Teal ducks which look very similar to the Mottled but have more vibrant coloring on lower feathers and a dark beak (only way on first glance I can tell them apart). I search more for the Wood Duck (one of my favorites), the most colorful of the ducks that either winter here and/or breed here. |
