Reddish on the hunt

[Grace Scalzo]

From a great excursion with Capt James and Gail.

I was using center point for focus by necessity and added canvas to the left to balance.

Grace, nice shot, dynamic running pose, tack sharp, good light and BG. The only knit picking is the shadow in the near wing. Perhaps you could brighten it a little? Well done. Loi

Grace,
Fantastic shot, Love the rasied foot and slight indication of wing blur and foot motion. This and The reflective under wing lighting and intent look on Reds face make for a dynamic Image. Kudos on the Canvas you blended the textures and water well, looks great!

[dankearl]

Beautiful photo, very sharp.
I do not see a shadow on the wing, I don't what that comment is about.
Very nice exposure.

[Diane Miller]

Beautiful, striking, sharp shot and great job adding canvas. Not convinced it needs that much added, though. It's getting too close to half-and-half for my taste. I want to keep my attention on the wonderful bird rather than wonder what the empty space is leading to.

[Bonnie Block]

Really nice image, Grace. Love the action and the tail feather dipped in the water. Tack sharp!

[Satish Ranadive]

Very very sweet and artistic pose you have captured here.
Love the pose with very nice feathers on neck,raised foot, beautiful colors,sharpness and flash of water.
Composition is as usual superb.

Regards,
Satish.

If you hadn't told me about adding canvas, Grace, I wouldn't have noticed. I can't even find a seam anywhere. Well done on that and on this super action. Lovely colors and details, and I really love the raised foot and water splash.

Grace,

I could write volumes on how beautiful an image this is. Love the intensity, head and chest feathers being blown back. Extremely well done.

[Steve Canuel]

Really like the determined look on the face, no doubt he's gonna get that fish!

[Jeannean Ryman]

I spent the last few days watching these guys fish, and you captured the intensity of their hunt very well. Nice light as well! If you hadn't said, I wouldn't have known you added canvas. Nice job!

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great action and splashing water Grace. I always seem to have that problem with these guys when it comes to the center focus button. Great action and ps work on the canvas

[jack williamson]

IQ is excellent. This image conveys sudden motion forward. Excellent canvas extension.
