Holger, you captured the artist's intent by using the perfect angle and use of DOF. Great lighting as well. -
All comments are appreciated - both positive and negative. I will make constructive comments on your images in return if I can. -

Dave, hard to get image! I did not look at the settings to see why the front of the nest is blurred. Where is the nest? -
Holger, I like the way you have the skyline very high in the frame. By including the sea and sky, you let us know this is a beach yet by the placement you emphasize the beach and not the sea or sky. Well done. -
Much improved! -
Tony, I like the simplicity of this image. I also thing the non parallel lines add to the old age feeling of this subject. I may have tried moving the framing down to include more of the ground in front. To me there is either not enough of the ground or it should not be included at all. If needs more balance one way or the other.

Tony, thanks for your comment on my Italian Plaza painting. I find the POV of this image fresh and new. The B/W affect is also very nice. -
William, thanks for your comment on my Italian Plaza painting. I see you shoot lots of people. That is not a subject I have much expertise on - but I do find this image interesting in both its action and the looks on the faces. -

Very creative - good tones and shapes. -
Dave, I like the 600mm!! Lots more fun getting bird shots. Good pose, framing and detail. Seems a little dark on my monitor. -
Very Good image and nice capture. Good exposure and color. Very sharp. Have glint in the eye. The pose allows us to see the nice striping on her back and tail. These guys are usually quite skittish and don't sit still long. -
Great concept and wonderful execution. Shading is perfect. I see jewels and lace floating in space. -
More impact in this image. The B/W now focuses the eye on the form of the subject and not all the tiny scars it probably has. Your POV is the basically the same as my professional photographer friend's. Well done. -
As I look at these types of images, I ask myself what I could do to heighten the impact. Dave lets go out just to experiment with different ideas. MA is tracking down the book she mentioned. Seems to be out of print - but that does not stop her. -
Dave, you are right this is better in B/W than color. -
it's a texas thang...cowboy up! Texas - 35

Line, very well done! I like the dark tone as it draws attention to the face and whiskers. The pose is natural yet distinctive. The framing is perfect. The POV works perfectly. I like the way the right shoulder fades into the background. -
Holger, I wonder what you could get by getting at an angle of say 45 degrees to the right to give it a more diagonal look. You have a foreground, middle ground and a background. In this shot the foreground gets a lot of attention because there is so much water in it. Having the bridge up in the sky helps bring attention to it as the contrast behind it is more pronounced. Maybe even a lower angle would be even stronger. Just some ideas to spur your imagination. Dave -
Holger, thanks for the feedback. I think you are right that the background needs to provide more contrast. You have some really fine images in your Aquarium- Fish and Fauna section. Do you dive yourself to get these wonderful shots? -
I enjoyed taking and processing this image - it is my first try at this and would greatly appreciate any feedback on both its good and bad points. I am especially interested in your thoughts about the background choice. All suggestions for improvement are highly regarded. I will try to do the same for you.

Steve, very nice image. Creative. Very different from any other I have seen. -
Alf, thanks for your comment. I tend to like the larger DOF as well. I also find it more challenging. I keep trying new ways to get it.
