  1. All suggestions are what I would do if this was my photo. I would crop it and, if possible lighten and darken the areas with the warblers so that they stand out more. They tend to fall into the background. But, nice catch.

    You and I have similar visual tastes. I have a photo much like this from a garden in Madrid. What is it about sunflowers that attracts us? (especially in black and white)

    The sharpening was intentional. I went back and forth between this and a more softer one. But I liked the effect this has. Anyway, thanks for the critique--I really like your flowers as well.
  2. Thank you for your response. I had Imogen Cunningham in mind when I took this but tried to do it a little differently. Originally I had some of the background barely visible, but opted to darken the background entirely.
  3. I also like taking photos of Anna's. We have several living around our house; one in the back tree and one in the front. They sit and guard the feeders, chasing others away from "theirs." They seem to pose. They still were there during our cold and snowy last week but they have a way of moderating their body temps to survive, but also we live in Western Oregon, so the weather is fairly moderate.

    I know it's soft but it was taken at a long distance as the fox was sprinting across the field behind our house. I thought that the slight blur would hint at the speed it was running. I agree with Jim that sometimes technically imperfect photos can sometimes be quite interesting (not that I was trying to make it imperfect).
