what a cool and unusual frame, nice light and BG. whites aren't blown but on the border, I think you can extract more detail there TFS

love how he is peaking out of th foregorund Steve, pretty cool frame, maybe a tad warmer TFS

love the low angle and the open bill, Loon looks like it has some motion blur in the head area ? the calm water and BG are on the money TFS

what a cute frame!!! bummer the conditions were just bad and nothing you could have done about it... TFS

Dave: I prefer the second repost. Bit more contrast than repost #1, looks a bit sharper. The original was too sharp, 1st repost too soft, 2nd...

Hi Andreas. Probably the poor light here causing the poor IQ?

I like the pose with that tongue, very neat. A nice portrait. Image quality looks very good.

I like the setting with the grasses and the mound. Nice to be shooting up instead of down. Nice framing and detail as well.

Nice to see a tree rat on here. Agree on the tightness. Nice pose and background.

I like the way you composed the image, its simple and it catches my eye. As Andreeas said, the deer has a statuesque look, which I like. The FG and...

I wasn’t happy with the last edit so here is a further attempt. I would be interested to know which you prefer. Many thanks. Dave

Hy Andreeas, I like the way the uniform color of the FG and BG just makes the seal stand out. I also like the posture of the seal, especially the...

Hy Steve, quite a debate your shot has sparked:). I dissagree with John, the leppard catches my attention, especially because it's looking out of the...

Thank you all for commenting. I have reworked the image: reprocessed starting from a flat profile rather than landscape in photoshop, desaturated the...

David: Good pose with that long bill. Well exposed, good detail. Shallower dof would have been nice to further blur the bg, but perhaps not...

Awesome low POV (so, what's new) with great FG and BG. Pose, details and framing also off the charts. TFS

Thanks Steve ... was thinking about the belly of the other cub , but left it . The same with the lighter back of the main cub .... easy fix just burn...

I like the concept/capture Andreas and having the curled tongue just adds so much, you just wonder what the cub was thinking. Overall good detail as...

Hi Paul , such a great and very sweet line up !!! Defenetly worth taking the image. What are these " coarse artifacts " in FG and BG ??? Besides...

LOL, certainly no Rules, just interested to hear what things 'engage' folk in/with an image, that was all. :S3:

Jon & Steve .... i am so happy that we have the chance to show all sorts of images here in this place , luckily we all have different tastes and we...

Yes, I like it. Cheers Randy

Hi Randy, thank you for viewing, commenting and suggesting a way to improve the image. Here is a edit with the contrast on the bird raised. I think...

That's absolutely fine Jon and thanks Andreas for your thoughts too. Since you replied Jon, the 'engagement' aspect has been like a pin ball for...

Dave: It is a striking little fellow, but as mentioned, a bit over sharpened and also over saturated. Sounds like a great spot and when...

Dave: A quick riff on your image incorporating Daniel's comment. The original looked almost like the bird was frosted, which was interesting,...
