I appreciate the effort you put into being creative and trying something new. I do agree with Beverly that a different statue or object in the center might work better. To my eye,the statue in the center is too heavy and too white for the dancers on the sides. I feel like the statue overpowers the dancers. |

Jim,
I love this image. It reminds me of the artist Escher where negative space transitions into positive space, and positive space transitions to negative space. This has such an artistic feel to me.
I do have a minor suggestion: crop out the thing edge of water at the bottom of the image. To my eye, it does not add anything to the image. And, there is a small goose head right in the center of it. |

Other than whatever focus issues you are dealing with,I love the right half of the image. The composition on the right half works for me. But, to my eye, there is too much negative space on the left half of the image. Since the eye is drawn to the brightest area of an image, my eye goes right to the empty space. You might want to reconsider how you cropped the image. |

Oh my gosh, your are right. I did not notice that strange circle on the neck. I wish I had seen your comment before I submitted the image in the March S4C competition. |

Thank you for your kind remarks. I do admit that anything good about this image was totally a mistake since I did not know what I was doing. Ha, ha, ha....beginner's luck, I guess. |

Thank you so much for your encouraging and thoughtful comments. You made my day!
So far I have only used the lens that one time. I love the extended range from 18-400mm without changing lenses. Since I had no idea what settings to use, I did auto ISO. Most of the images seem very noisy and unclear. It seems like the ISO was too high. The flamingo was a lucky mistake. Maybe if I knew better what settings to use, I might be happier with the lens. I'm not good at quick focusing, and because the lens is not native to the Z7, I had to use the adapter which slowed down the auto focus.
You can see some of my landscapes on this group by viewing previous rounds. A lot of my images are on 500px. If you google Laura Lee Bartholomew, you will get hits to my 500px account. However, many of those images were processed several years ago. My processing skills have improved and I would probably process them differently.
I would love some guidance on nature and wildlife photography. Is there a way to communicate without it being through this forum?

Kudos to you for such a seamless composite. I do not know how to do that. It seems technically very difficult to achieve. |

I didn't notice that pink spot on the bottom right. I agree that it is kind of a distraction. Please explain what you mean by doing something with the line from the shadow. |
