Great shot!

[hijinks]

Very Nice.

[hTr]

Not much from this one, but what there was is good.

Thank You for those that took the time to comment.

[midnitejam]

Great image.

[hTr]

Great image.

Thanks MJ

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I believe he was just trying to retain balance in the wind.:lol:

[Geo]

Very nice shot, and nice composition

[hTr]

Very nice shot, and nice composition


Thanks for the comment, but it sure doesn't draw a lot of attention.

This is a tough crowd to get a comment negative or positive :(

[Rowan611]

you are getting some great shots man, keep them coming.

[midnitejam]

This is a tough crowd to get a comment negative or positive :( In this example where your concern seems to be about the quantity of critiques, consider it a compliment.

The submissions that draw the fewest responses are of two types and both types are extreme of 180 degrees.

1st TYPE. The submission is so horrid that many of us shy away from a day's worth of typing to describe everything that is wrong with the image and suggesting many many ways for improvement.

2nd TYPE. The submission is very strong and has relative few negative areas to offer help and suggestions for. I think that in your case your image is of the TYPE 2 variety. You do good work.

Cheers,
MJ

Well Thank You,but I like to have someone just say I viewed it and it was good as to pass ity by as it does not exist. If there is someway to improve the picture please let me know because if I knew how I would do it in a heart beat.

I'm humbled by your kind words :o and will do most anything to the product photos that are Photgraphically correct, but I want to Creat images that produce Feeling.

Ahh, but I didn't say it didn't produce feeling. Unfortunately, by posting in the Critique corner you're bound to get more constructive criticism on how to make the shot photographically correct. I think getting a photo that evokes feeling, is achieved by clicking the shutter release button at the right time. For example, whether you followed the rule of thirds or not with this shot, would not change the emotion you bring forth in the viewer. Though it can certainly enhance an emotion felt by the viewer, since producing an image that is easy and relaxing to view is much nicer than the same image that is a little 'tense' in the display of it.

That's really just a big opinion however, and I may not have made any sense at all. :D

Thank you Elaine

Now here is a shot to create thinking and humor

[thrumyeye]

Yes. I instantly smiled when I saw that. :)

But this one isn't quite as nice - I'm really missing the sky though, that was in the first. The deep blue tone really brought out the white of the eagle's feathers and the yellow/orange of it's feet.

[H2oDawgs]

Wow, great shots, that 2nd one is a heck of a capture.

[marcdpalmer]

On the image where the eagle has the wings flared, is the head a bit of a hotspot,or is it my monitor?? great shots, but you wanted c&c...

[hTr]

I like it also, It seem that on cold, clear days the sky is a deeper blue.

Thanks Dawg, I appreciate your comment.

Yes I'm afraid I have a little of the typical white blowout on the head on this, but the pose was very good.

[aab]

very nice!

[hTr]

very nice!


Thank You very Much and Welcome

the birdy looks like he's getting ready for lunch in the first one
then wondering why he's still hungry

If memory serves me correctly it was quite windy a he lost his balance and took this position to recover.

[ZL4life]

nope, he's getting ready to go and ruin a little rabbit's day.
(even if it isn't true, it's a more exciting story)

I have that shot someplace

[strmrdr]

the head scratching one cracks me up everytime I see it.
That is a one in a million shot.

I have several hundred pictures of Eagles and a couple more like that one. I have one where he is cleaning his Talons after a fish kill. Maybe some day I will post.

[strmrdr]

please do so!

[hTr]

please do so!

Will Do
