Thanks Steve: Here is a revised version, taming some of the brighter areas to help draw our eye to the owl. Pretty subtle, but hopefully it...

Magic! Thanks Randy, the light from above must have filtered through the leaves in the tree.

Cheers Randy, I work hard to get the various colours & tones as close as possible and keeping a sympathetic backdrop helps to push the subject. Yes...

Hi Randy, harsh conditions with the light from behind and the head in shade, but you did very well and ISO12,800 is a breeze for the Z9, just keep...

Jon: You have to love the 'hairdo' on this one! Striking eye, good shooting angle.There is a mild green tint to the image, and adjusting the...

Kevin, Cormorants are underrated and quite stunning in fact, although common. This is a very peaceful image and love the colors throughout. The...

Daniel, love the peek-a-boo effect. You do a nice job presenting the rich, darker tones here and in most images. Overall composition works for me....

Andreas, cute little bugger. Reminds me to a degree of our Ruby Crowned Kinglet. I like the view and the great angle of the subject. The little...

Daniel: I like the high key aspect, but agree with Jon about the brightness of the water and tried a gradient adjustment from the bottom with...

I think I have made this a little blue or "cold" - yet again!

Gold crest - wow one of the best I have seen, though I think perhaps a tad oversaturated ??- especially the crest (I appreciate breeding season)....

Unusual image, the duck is well shown. The area beneath the duck is very bright, I am sure this was intentional but to my eye a little bright, if it...

Thanx Jon ... glad you like it , albeit the quite intense colors :bg3: Cheers Andreas

Nice Daniel the water chop really makes this. Love that we have that green in the background for some contrast brightens up the image. TFS

Ah yes, what a pose! Glad you found a good spot despite the change of conditions at your spot. The repost addresses the darks nicely. I get bummed...

I love the water flowing above the feet, and the sparkles within it behind. I normally prefer a better head angle (relative to body angle), but here...

A much overlooked species, glad you took this beautiful image of it! Your floating blind provided a nice low angle. Perfect head / body angle on...
