Looks like something from one of the DPC Masters. Kiwiness? Larus?

Scary! :) Fog machine, smoke bomb, dry ice?? My only nitpic is that the blackness of his robe touches a little of of the shore in the BG. slight shift in camera would have nailed it. 8

Nice pose, all around good with a secret feel. He looks a little smirky but good job.

Hi from the Critique Club.

First impression: Flying water and fun!

Technicals: Technically this image looks good. To my eyes the focus looks sharp and colors are clear. Tough lighting and it provides good impact with the brightly lit water droplets.

Composition: I agree with one of your commentators. A slightly off center crop would strengthen the image. IMHO, a little more above his head would also give the picture more dynamic strength. It just needs a little more context.

Post Processing: You made nice work with the tough lighting conditions. Your sharpening system seems to have worked rather well too.

Good score in the challenge, anything approaching 6 means you struck a cord with some of the voters.

I̢۪m not an expert so PM me with any questions or comments. Keep shooting!

Hi from the Critique Club.

First impression: Good composition with a pretty blue sky.

Technicals: FYI, I have had little success shooting birds, let alone flying birds! You have done a good job of freezing the eagles flight with your fast shutter. I feel that there is a lack of detail and contrast in the underneath side of the wings. Pretty tough to get an eagle to pose! A little more definition here would have been good. His white feathers look good, in fact I might have even suggested lightening them slightly.

Composition: You have placed the bird well in the frame. It̢۪s a classic view and you have captured it well.

Post Processing: My only comment here is my experience with the Shadows/highlights tool in Photoshop CS usually leave my pics a lacking in contrast. This might be why you have lost some of the detail in the black feathers.

Met the challenge well, picture needs just a little more punch to score well in this voting system. White clouds in the sky, fish in talons, etc.

Very interesting pic in the middle of buildings, poles, etc, etc. I really like the shot, the focus is perfect, the only thing i find a little distracting is the strong white lines in the BG. Again, the focus is so sharp the cats paw jumps out of the screen.
