24 Jan 20 Reply Sam, thank you for your thoughts. As I listen to comments from judges in the Nature Division, all want to see tack sharp on every part of the bird/animal unless there is fast speed going on like a cheetah chasing prey. It was very windy, so shooting at 1/750 second stopped most of the motion. The little blue heron's "bad hair day" might have motion blur from the wind, which is the way I wanted to capture the image.
In other words, I'm not sure what you mean. Dr. Jim		 Jan 8th
24 Jan 20 Comment Laura, You do such amazing things with landscapes at sunrise and sunset. This is very well done. While I like the lead-in dark trail for a foreground, I think you could crop some off, leaving the dark path that goes off the right side as the bottom right corner. I had a photo judge suggest that lines coming in from the corner are better than lines that go off the side or bottom. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim Jan 3rd
24 Jan 20 Comment Donna, very interesting moment. It seems the pelican is swallowing the top half while the rest of the fish body falls away. Good action shot. Dr. Jim Jan 3rd
24 Jan 20 Comment Sam, I like what you have done to improve the quality of flowers and stems. Making it darker hides blemishes.
I think that the bunch of flowers looks flat, like you laid them on a table rather than put them in a vase. To round out the flowers, I used Photoshop Camera Raw filter. When Camera Raw opens, I clicked on the icon that looks like a lens - it's camera distortion slider. I went (-25%) making it like a fish-eye effect. It makes it rounded. I adjusted exposure and highlights. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim		 Jan 3rd
