17 Jan 23 Comment Capturing good wildlife images is challenging. I'm thinking this image might be more effective if you cropped out the animal on the left since his face isn't visible.

After cropping, I used a select object mask in LightRoom to add more clarity to the animal on the right. Does this help the image at all?

17 Jan 23 Comment I'm really curious how you managed to get the sunstar. I have only been able to capture sunstars when part of the sun is obscured by clouds, buildings, leaves, or other things and using an aperture of f/22. Jan 15th
17 Jan 23 Comment You did a really good job of restoring detail and texture to the birds. Snow is really difficult creating a very high contrast image. The new masks in LightRoom are a life saver. To my eye, the snow is a bit too bright. I would also like to see a bit more detail in the snow.

In the attached image, I used the background mask in LR to add a touch more clarity and detail. Your thoughts?

17 Jan 23 Comment The autumn colors are lovely and rich. My eye struggles a bit with the lens distortion causing the trees to slant inward. You might consider correcting this in PhotoShop with the skew tool.
I did a quick correction. What do you think?

17 Jan 23 Comment I also feel like this image has the makings of a great picture. Like Glenn, I suggest cropping about half of the large cloud and maybe a bit from the bottom and left side.

Unfortunately, this image is not high enough resolution to crop much more without becoming pixelated. It seems a bit soft, especially when zooming in. You could try using Topaz Gigapixel AI to increase resolution enough to crop the image more.

Monochrome is a good choice for this image. You might try adding a bit more contrast to make the image pop a bit more. In the attached image I added pixels, increased the contrast and brightness a tad after cropping the image. What do you think?

17 Jan 23 Comment This is a lovely composition that you captured. Spraying the flowers with water is very effective. You might want to consider a bit of spot clean-up, not just the larger discolored spot at the top, but also some random white spots that attract the eye.
I would love to see how this image looks on a black rather than white background...just a thought.
