Dave, This is a wonderful shot! The trees and the color of the water and a sense of motion is in the image. It just needs a can of fresh air and sound when you open the image from the thumbnail to make it complete.

Wild Enough?

Julianne, you get some of the most interesting wild bird shots in all of DPC land. That's just too cute, with the little top knot of down feathers.

You almost got it. This is one of the situations where a DSLR has the flexibility to allow you to focus on the subject that you want, or to select the area of the image to focus on in the viewfinder. The camera focused on the little branch in the foreground in this shot.
Like you said, not the best photo, but it is a nice snapshot to share what's going on around your home.

That's an impressive edit. The DOF for a shot at this level is huge. You didn't post the aperture setting with the images. The reflections are "killer"!
Who's leading this dance?

The dash of saturation makes a nice improvement in this shot. Try shooting cloudy day white balance some time for this sort of shots, and the images will be almost like this straight from the camera. I use that white balance a lot for out door scenes and for most of my sunsets.
Can you try to get the water to look like it does in your Bahama vacation shots?

I like the way you posted both shots in one frame for us. Your edit made an artsy looking poster from the original shot. The expression makes the shot for me.
I understand about the thin milk thing and I know who has the answer to the question about how to make the milk into a mustache. That would be alanfreed, have a look at his profile shot.

Hiking Trail Edited

Nice edit. I would have never known that this was shot mid summer if I had not seen the original. I like the way the light plays around in little spots, and the way the far end of the trail appears brighter in this edit.

Snoozin' - After

You did the right thing with the switch to B&W with this one. It adds a feel that the scene could have been 50 years ago, or yesterday. I think that is what makes it connect for me.

I agree that the white blanket is empty space on the right. You have done a very sweet job of bringing her little face to the front of the image. Maybe the iso actually helped with blurring the absolute sharpness that could have made any little imperfection show up in her complexion. It's a good image now.
Wishing you the best in the effort to make the cover.

I'm smiling for you Roz. I was happy to see you in this little challenge because I admire your "omlet " style of editing images into each other. You made a visual treat.
I can't do that ..........yet.
