Birdsby otto22Comment: Beautiful photo. Great colors, tones, and depth of field. One thing strikes me as really strange, though: the title. Birds are a minor element in the photo. This is not a photo of birds. |

Tenacityby PrismComment: Great location for shooting. This would have been an excellent candidate for HDR processing. As it is, keeping the details in the shadows means you lost all the highlights in the water, resulting in several large unappealing white spots in your image. |

River Runs Dryby elizadebComment: This looks like a snapshot taken in the middle of the day, with little thought given to composition or a focal point. |

Yosemite Valleyby CJinCAComment: Beautiful. The composition is great and the range of tones is strong. I don't understand why the focus is so soft--could really use some USM at maybe 100%, 0.5 radius, 0 threshold. |

"Great Fires Rage In Vain"by JimiRoseComment: Fire is a very photogenic subject--however, what makes it really interesting is its details. Here, the flames are all completely blown out, and the resulting undetailed rings are a uniform and uncompelling white. Keeping the details would require a lower ISO or a smaller aperture. |

Elvis the Catby sadiebirdComment: The sharpest part of the image is the nose. Since this is essentially a portrait, the facial features generally considered best to have in the sharpest focus are the eyes. I see no reason to have departed from this general rule here. |

"To see the world in a grain of sand..."by myceliumComment: Originally posted by BrennanOB:
So one wonders how this great shot could possibly garner two one votes. Just lovely work Damon, and the flip was a great idea. |
Kind words--thank you. I suppose the old bell curve accounts for the inevitable low votes on any photo. As for the 180° rotation, I must give credit to the DPL team for that suggestion. League play has taught me a lot about the value of critique from one's peers. |

Distractedby glodaComment: Great work. One of a very few I've seen that really meets the challenge to me. |
