29 Nov 20 Reply Thank you! That worked well and I will have to give it a try on the original:-) Nov 17th
29 Nov 20 Comment Beautiful shot from such a distance (by the lens used)! Not sure I would change anything. Seeing the eye more would of course be nice but that is animal photography! Get what you can! Nov 16th
29 Nov 20 Comment Sharp and beautiful landscape! I took steps in shooting landscapes while in Japan, not as simple as we think. I think snow on mountain tops is especially difficult. I like how the left shore leads into the mountain and of course love the water! Nov 16th
29 Nov 20 Comment Gorgeous shot! Love the colors & hue, never been there but it is giving me a great visual reference. The clouds do the trick, I am not sure I would change anything. More or less colors, saturation & contrast are of a personal perception. Wonderful image! Nov 16th
29 Nov 20 Reply Hi Karen, curious how you re-constructed the fin? If you don't mind sharing:-) Nov 16th
29 Nov 20 Comment Cool pic. reminds me when my children were young:-). The daisies don't bother me, perhaps just the angle - Thinking from a lower angle so the rail would be lined up on the front & back? There seem to be slight line above the train which could be removed. I like the blurriness of the other wagons, could be fun to add a motion blur with PS.

29 Nov 20 Reply Fun photo to work with, may be even more monotone while keeping the fire hot would work too I think. Nov 15th
29 Nov 20 Comment Fun and difficult shot to get the focus spot on. Composing on a flying bird is no small task, I think the people add to the story - I would try to crop the empty space on top and the change from Karen works well for me too. nicely done! Nov 15th
29 Nov 20 Reply Hi Bill, I did take a look at @sealegacy and I follow quite a few similar accounts. Most of the time I use a 15 mm fish eye when photographing clients in the water - It is extremely rare to be so close to the whales and thus had decided to use my 16-35 which I have to adapt the housing using an extension on the dome. In this case the current pushed us towards the whales, to the point of being in touching distance. I had to back pedal very slowly to avoid any movement and not scare them away. I do have a few shots from further away but it was a long time dream to being able to be so close and have some close ups. I also have a few shots where you see another swimmer which gives a sense of the mama's size:-). Nov 15th
29 Nov 20 Comment Intersting about the tail fin, I will have to look at my original - It is likely cut off. They were close, the calf kept on being playful and moving around and up & down. I was too close at some point, within touching distance and had to back off to try to frame the entire whale. The surface looks calm but we had 5-6' swells so framing them was a lot of fun while going up and down:-) Nov 12th
29 Nov 20 Comment Great scene, it really tells the story. I would not change the framing, just thought the image had a bit of noise due to the ISO and perhaps a little too bright. I lowered the exposure, increased the shadows, lowered the vibrance, worked the noise and made it a little sharper. Nov 12th
