You captured an excellent image here sir! Everything in focus and sharp!

The detail on the bird is fantastic Jon!

I'm rather liking the painterly feel here. The water drops around the fish tell the story of a catch done seconds ago.

Looks under exposed to me Will and the sharpening a bit pushed.

Nice. Cute bird. Background nicely highlights the bird. Sharp where it needs to be. My only nit, as Dorian pointed out, is that the back wing doesn't...

Very nice. I'm OK with the lifted back leg. There appears to be a little motion blur on the foot which would be more prominent if in front.

This works extremely well for me as well! Critical focus is spot-on, and the amount of blurring on the neck and body is just right. Well-balanced...

Nice shot, the contrast in the darker feathers is a tricky one to deal with, so much depends on the ambient light and direction. It may well be...

Thank you very much Jon, Don't know if it's the new gear or more careful PP...Maybe a bit of both. I just think I have become more selective in...

Yes! This works for me, the Darter obviously has to have excellent eyesight and the image concentrates on the eyes. The other very important piece...

Thanks very much everyone for your feedback, much appreciated.

Doesn't get any better, you nailed this one 100%. Very well processed too. :cheers: Print it!!!! TFS Steve

Terrific shot Will, love the detail, wingspread and droplets falling from the fish. The textured BG is just right. Nice that you got both eyes but...

Super cute Jon, very nice pose and great timing, lovely image! I like the framing here and tiny perch. Nice clean background, good colours....

Hello Andreas! Yes he was so relaxed, walked in front of the vehicle and suddenly dropped to the ground, yawning. Just too close...so I had to...

Thank you Andreas, Indeed my boy looks a bit grumpy, LOL. Thank you for suggestion, shall certainly have a look, I see what you mean. ...

What was the EV here Colin? Firstly Colin, you should have changed the Metering and just instantly dialled in to plus the EV to +2 and...

I know it is very picky , to ask for the perfect foot visibility ... we all know that :bg3: I would be happy with the image , depending on the...

Hi Will ... a killer dynamic jump off pose you have captured , love it THe perch is bit unfortunate with the strong contrast by nature , if this...

Hi Gabriela ... i do like the concentrated and kind of grumpy look of the Cheetah . Comp , pose is solid good and the greenery is a nice addition to...

No wonder that she was voted as POTY ... looking at the posing , looks like a funny back scrubbing on ice . Would have loved a lower shooting angle...

Hi Gabriela ... What a nicely relaxed looking Cheetah !!! RP is looking better than the OP with the additional pop !!! Can see a version with...

Haha! I thought I was the only one who thought about that subtle stuff. Yes, I would have preferred it the other way, but the bird didn't give me a...

Hi Dorian does look overall , just wish the front foot was lifted and not the back one . Might play a bit with the BG ... make it darker or lighter...
