very nice picture, wish it was larger, looks a just a wee bit oversharpened in a few spots

I think more contrast would have improved this

this is cool, I'm sure I've seen thousands of heron shots but this is a new angle, probably too much to ask but flash would have put more light onto the underside of the wings and body, excellent capture

the black bars top & bottom are a negative to an otherwise nice photo

IMHO, this does not meet the challenge, not close enough for me to give the benifit of doubt

The Old Smith Place
by jrtodd

Comment:
the old smith place is definitely abandoned, but it's not the focus of this picture, the sky with clouds that may forewarn of a storm, the snow-capped peaks in the far background, the red rock ridge in the near bg, and the greens of the valley floor all work together to overwhelm the part that was supposed to be the point of interest, this meets the topic in only the most periphereal of ways and I'm taking off a point for that, other than that it is a very appealing and wellexecuted shot, I like the wide variety of color and the great depth of field
