21 Jul 23 Comment Interesting group of birds, I've never heard of this bird before. I agree that the image is stronger after removing that branch. Jul 12th
21 Jul 23 Comment Great action shot of the herons, these gray herons appear to be very similar to our great blue herons. Tells a nature story. There is another bird (egret?) behind the head of the rightmost heron, it doesn't add anything to the nature story and could be cloned out. Jul 4th
21 Jul 23 Comment Well done, Ron, you captured these grackles in a great pose. In reference to Mike's comment, these birds are both male (females are brown in color and slightly smaller). I tried using the new Photoshop beta version to add space at the bottom and in front (to give the birds space to move into). Jul 4th
21 Jul 23 Comment Well done, Gabrielle, considering the circumstances you were faced with. And modern cameras enable you to get shots like this without thinking of using a tripod. I might try to blur the background slightly, this would help to make the birds stand out. Jul 4th
21 Jul 23 Comment Welcome tyo what promises to be a truly exciting group. Tom, you have captured a terrific action shot of the skimmer, not easy to get. I tend to agree with Ron to try and lighten the eye a bit or, as you say, to add a catchlight. Looking at Mike's version, it looks more like noise than feather detail considering how black the feathers are. Jul 4th
21 Jul 23 Reply Thanks Tom and Ron. Jul 4th

44 Jul 23 Comment Good color. I've never been there but your image brings out a desire to go and explore the area. Great detail shot, but I'm sure there are lots of other shots there waiting to be captured. Jul 12th
44 Jul 23 Reply Thanks everyone. Yes Rick, your edits definitely help my image. Jul 12th
44 Jul 23 Comment This image invites you to come in, sit down, and enjoy the view of the city skyline. The slow shutter speed smooths out the water effectively. I cannot suggest any improvements either. Jul 12th
44 Jul 23 Comment Your HDR treatment really brings out the detail in this image. The oil can adds interest. Jul 12th
44 Jul 23 Comment Effective use of the new Remove tool. There is a very slight slant upwards to the right. Also a tiny bit of haloing around some of the stone monoliths. Otherwise very well done. Jul 12th
44 Jul 23 Comment Well done, Bill, this was not an easy shot to obtain. The HDR treatment brought out the detail and color in the image. I might crop about 10% of the left hand side to bring the focus of the subject more squarely up towards the skylight. Jul 4th
44 Jul 23 Comment Jane, this is a record shot of two common Texas flora. It might have been better if you had come right up to the barbed wire fence, perhaps low down with a wide angle lens to get some bluebonnets really close and the rest fading back into the distance. Though I must admit then you wouldn't see the cactus. As is, you might try blending in the sky from the darkest bracket to add a bit of detail. Jul 4th
