Good stuff. Interesting that the ends of the tines are round from this distance.

I think the b&w conversion is excellent. A nice range of grays, and lots of detail.

You put this in the birds gallery???? I'll be laughing about that the rest of the day!

I like the shot. Duckie seems so....lonely.

I pick this version. It seems more...ummm....natural. It's a beautiful, graphic image this way. The other one seems overprocessed.

Red Knobbed Coot

The composition is lovely. Coots are hard to shoot, because there's so much contrast between the feathers and the head, but you have nailed the exposure. I gave up on using a 70-300 (any 70-300), because it's just too hard to get a shot at 300mm with no motion blur unless it's a bright sunny day. The shutter speed just has to be too slow.

You nailed this one. The PP works exactly right with a really nice capture.

Great start! I see good detail in the moon. You might try desaturating the greens to get the green fringe to go away. Or maybe that's the green cheese...

Gorgeous. I like the mix of lighting, the blue twilight (or is it morning) on his face, with the yellow tractor light.

Interesting environmental portrait. It might work better if you got up closer and focused on him and his cleaning supplies.
