We often ignore the relatively drab female birds in favor of their brighter partners, but they too can provide lovely portraits, as you have shown here. I really like the pose you managed to capture and the cropping which gives her the space to move into. I wouldn't change anything. |

Well done, Leslie. I agree with others that the bird could use more space above and to its right, it needs a bit of space to move into. This is easy to do with Photoshop's crop tool, which now offers either content aware fill or generative expand for filling in the added space. |

Good capture of the bird, great pose after he ate his fill. I like Tom's version with the bright sky toned down somewhat, but I'd brighten his face and eye a bit more to draw the viewer's eye in to where it should go. |

A good portrayal of a nature story. I like Tom's remake better than either the original or Ron's remake, in which the leaves are a little too green. |

Thanks everyone! I think I might crop a bit as suggested. |

Like everyone else, I find this image a bit dark and contrasty. I am looking forward to seeing a re-make of this scene as you mentioned, Max. Also, there appears to be a bit of blotchiness in the sky around the top right corner. |

Your HDR treatment brings out the detail of the scene quite well. I agree that you could crop out a portion of the sky (or maybe bring in some clouds from another image?). Like Rick, I was unsure what the reflection was to begin with, I would tone it down somewhat so it is less prominent. |

I agree with the others about detail in the cliff face and the foreground rocks. An increase in the texture and/or clarity settings in Lightroom should help./

Great shot Rick, well composed and processed, great color in the sunset sky. I agree that the lighthouse looks a little too blue. Perhaps select it in Lightroom with the "subject" category and shift the color temperature a bit. |

Lisa, I really enjoy this image, I have always loved trains, way back to my childhood when there was a small railyard a couple of blocks from where I lived. I like Rick's version with the power lines and poles removed, Luminar Neo is excellent at doing things like that. The B&W version really suits the old time nature of this image. |

I find this imnage a little dark and foreboding, perhaps lighten it overall a bit and give it a slight bump in contrast and/or clarity. The window doesn't bother me. |

Thanks everyone for your comments. Taking a look at the set of bracketed images in LRC, I notice that indeed the HDR process accentuated the greenish color cast. I shifted the tint control towards magenta, which turned the color of the truck into a dull yellow while keeping the green on the cedar branch. |
