Great capture, detail and composition!

Day 4: Heron

Sigh. I have herons very close by but can never get close enough with my equipment for this kind of detail. Nice treat to see the eye and that curvy top feather(?) hanging down. Great lighting and DOF to render his body curves against the bg.

Day 5: Swan Lunch, Not Swan Lake!
by bobonacus

Comment:
Very nice horizontals and verticals. Placement of the 2 swans and the near and far segments/stripes of grass! Nice coordinating greens of trees and grass. (I think I would crop out tree on left and the foregrass up about an inch, just to make the most of the good compositional elements you already have).

"Where's your ball?"
by Bear_Music

Comment:
It almost works. Two problems IMHO: the background is slightly too contrasty/busy and the ball is either too subtle or not subtle enough for the idea to come across. And overall the colours are not DPC- pleasing. I like the idea and the dog. (Only because you asked).

I like this for its minimalism. (You practice minimalism extremely well). What is minimal is the stuff on the horizon. Like your My Girl. So in my view the stuff at the bottom being so finely and minimally done can handle the almost outrageous drama of the sky. So, also like My Girl, this is a painting where the drama/essence is in the depiction.

This is amazing. Minimal. Reminds me of Durer's rabbit.

Very pleasing composition, and just enough shape - bit of a challenge with that lens - but then again when I use my zoom on these guys I can't find them!

Been looking at your re-edit, and have to say it was a good idea. You must have been quite a distance to get this shy one. Serious bird with the mask and all. Nice pose, light and colour.

Was that a rabbit?!

This is really good to look at for awhile. I know these dogs feature in many great pictures, but I find the lighting and colour and pose and definition and composition all sitting in a very nice place here.

A little scary; waiting for the deeper messages to Koalesce.
