A track rider with too much floor space...

I think this is one of the best in the series. Original treatment, a little more subdued than the others, which give it a different, and very nice feel. Fantastic shot. The others a great as well, full of energy! Keep up the amazing work.

Since the original shot had clear sky in the background, I snapped a picture of a part of the sky with some clouds after the hawk had left and have composited the images.

How does this compare to the original (located in the same folder)?

I hope I can capture images like this some day...I just wish we could see the other eye in this shot. Everything else is great!!!

nice shot...I would be tempted to position the heron a little more off centre (to the right) if it were possible. Amazing tones, and great silhouette!

I hadn't gotten around to posting yet, but this is from the original shot with the clear sky in the background...the colour shot in my portfolio (to be updated) is a manipulation. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for looking. Comments are always appreciated. Does this

treatment work?

Thanks for the comments! The colours were subtle and subdued as the shot was taken at dusk...

 

a little less realistic perhaps:

Colour version of the previous shot...no post processing at all!

Don't worry too much about ratings. I have photos that I think are great that get completely passed over, and some that get low ratings. I always find comments more valuable than the numbers.

 

And on that note...one thing I might suggest is that since it's a portrait oriented photo, you could try making it smaller so it can be viewed fully at various screen resolutions. The background could also be set off by a nice digital frame.

Thanks for looking!

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

Interesting crop...it gives an idea of the size of the bird, but I do miss the feathers at the wingtips. A tradeoff. The eyes are just amazing...kudos for great focus and high enough shutter speed to keep things sharp. Although the background is a a little plain, I can't suggest any way around this either :)

 

Great shot!

Nice DOF and the interaction between the man and fish is just great. It put a smile on my face :)

 

Nice shot!

Thanks for looking!

Perfectly exposed! Great detail in the bridge. Superb composition and I love the vignette effect toward the edges. I just wonder if you had been a little higher if we could have seen the horizon behind the railing on the left side. Still...gorgeous!

Any suggestions for improvement on treatment of this photo? Thanks

for your comments.

This is the first full-body portrait I've shot, any tips? Shot with

minimum fill flash (PS'd out some shadows) with a bright incidental

light to the left. Comments / suggestions...pretty please!
