Yes, for the most part. The birds fly between perches, most of which appear quite natural. |

As with Leslie, I only get a black screen here. But I like what Tom has posted, though maybe try the new Lens Blur in Lightroom on the background. |

To me the birds are lacking somewhat in feather detail. I would lighten their faces, extend the canvas on the right to give them space to look into, and use a sky replacement in Photoshop or Luminar to provide some detail. Just keep features like puffy clouds blurred to they don't distract. |

Great action shot, Mike. You captured this at the exact time, with perfect detail everywhere. I cannot suggest any improvements. |

I agree with others that this needs a tighter crop, particularly on the left and bottom. I would also reduce the vignetting, it should be subtle rather than obvious. |

I don't mind the waves being a bit blurry, you've got the focus where it belongs on the bird; it is sharp to my eyes. I might have preferred the bird not intersecting with the horizon, but then you get what the bird provides you, so really well done. |

This is certainly an unusual image of this bird. I've photographed them in Florida on several occasions in the past but never thought of trying this. I would tend to agree with others that the yellow could be toned down a bit. |

Thanks everyone. As it happens, I'm going on another outing to this spot in a few weeks. But which birds become available to us to photograph is beyond my control, it's whatever the staff brings out for us. |

Thanks Leslie. I'll check other images and try to fix the bottom. |

Well done on such an ominous day, I hope you didn't get rained on. I like the colors here, and do not feel that the greens are overdone (though I've had comments in the past that I should reduce the saturation of my greens). If anything, I's try to bring up the purple color in the distant flowers to make them more noticeable. Topaz Denoise 6 really does an excellent job, I've used it on shots of my grandsons playing hockey that I've shot at ISO 25600 and they come out with virtually all the noise gone. |

Great color. I must agree that the vignette is too intense (especially in the top right corner), when I use a vignette I try to make it subtle so that it's not easily noticed. |

Your HDR treatment makes the best of a contrasty mid-day scene (much like my image this month which I took around 11 a.m. on a sunny day). I would suggest either a slight vignette or using a gradient to darken the right hand side of the image a bit. |

Terrific image, Rick! I really enjoy the curves and lines in this image that bring everything out so perfectly. And the color harmony is spot on! I cannot suggest any improvements here. |

I can see you really put in a lot of effort into this image, the result is fantastic. Great detail everywhere. I also wonder about the nature of the reflection. |

Brad, your HDR treatment brings out the color and detail in this image. However, I would still like to see the fuselage slightly brighter towards the right edge of the image, to make it show up better. Otherwise, very well done. |

Thanks Rick and Jane. I have an image here of the entire barn showing the sunlit side, though this is not an HDR image. I used a curves adjustment layer on the shaded side to increase its brightness and contrast a bit. |
