Bill: Very nice frame, do prefer the repost. The angle of the lighting really helps add depth to the feathers , nice pose, good POV. Like...

Ann: The eye is the anchor here, and works well. Lots of nice detail, without looking over sharpened. I do love pano crops for water fowl, but...

David: Good comp, like the great eye, soft background with a bit of detail, exposure. The detail held up pretty well to the crop. Fun to work...

Jay: Great action shot, nice job on the canvas extension. I might be tempted to add even a sliver more if you can. Great eye contact with both...

Robert, a really beautiful frame. You can get a lot of mileage from this bird I think as it's so photogenic. Nice details and again, the whites...

Hi Krishna, yet another beautiful capture, you seem to have a real touch with this type of image. For my personal preference, the crop is fine as it...

Jonathan, I processed differently than the above - ACR, cleaning up background and trying to bring down the whites. Looks slightly darker than the...

I missed this one. You made that perch look very nice, and the water droplets add. The background is excellent as is the overall IQ.

A very nice scene Bill. The colors look great. I like the way the foreground grass do not obstruct the view and fall off so nicely to a pleasing...

Nice colors in the image. and texture for the background. I like the crop as presented. I would clone out the imperfections in the water.

Well done, Beautiful colors on the bird as well as nice feather detail. You have to love the eye. I think your choice of crop fits well here.

I remember this late afternoon investigating that hillside road as if it were yesterday. We were following at least two Plovers, as we crouched...

Hi Bill, certainly better and you are getting to see more within the image. This is always the tricky part and a dilemma we all face I think...

Thanks David and Steve. Here I've used Curves to brighten the entire scene, with a little extra dodging on the aft end of the bird. Not sure...

This is very nice Bill, the calling pose is beautiful. The low POV works really well and I like the habitat and placement. My only thought is that is...

Sweet lovely light, pose and environment. I also love the side light and shadows. Looks like you could coax a little more out of the shadows on the...

Thanks Krishna.

Nice one, Joe. Good wing position and lovely comp. Good work replacing the plant; glad they've found it again. Looking forward to some more shots.

Looks good David, much better!

It's my little workout Jon. :w3

Hi Geoffrey, a sweet capture and framing, with some nice fine detail in parts. I would drop the blue evident in the bill and a small part of the...

Ravi I think it is a good image but I feel it is oversharpened. I would suggest two things firstly reduce the highlights - it may then not appear...

It must be **** carrying all that heavy equipment - i have quite forgotten how cumbersome it is!!:bg3:

Superb colors and details with great HA. The clear focus on the bird and perch make them pop off the environmental BG. A bit tight all around. TFS

Love the colors, details, pose and framing. Another great canvas from you. TFS

Lovely intimate view, including pano crop. Love the colors and the canvas overall (so, what's new). TFS ps That eye...

Another stunner with full soft reflection. Agree with Paul on tighter crop if IQ holds up, but keep entire reflection. Love this canvas as is, though...
