A Twilight Meal

Comment:
This is one of the nicest wild deer photos that I have seen. The deer looks totally relaxed, and in it's element, and the even light of twilight gives the whole scene a beautiful glow. The 20 mm perspective is just perfect also, as most shots like this have the compressed look of a long tele shot.
It was a fortunate moment for you to be able to get so close and have the equipment ready to get this shot.

This is a wonderful image! You had an excellent concept, and you shot it just right. I also think that it would have ribboned if you had cropped it almost square, removing the bright area at the top. That way, the marble would grab your attention and focus.

Love the interaction in the birds in this shot. Macaws are so beautiful, and so very intelligent.

What a cool looking image! I like the lines everywhere in this shot. The pipes on the left and shadow on the right, then the tiles and the walkway lines plus the square of the window go together, then the layered color too. It's a busy image, but very enjoyable to look around in for the details.
It's interesting how the bend in the lines match in the pipes, the scooter front end, and the shadow up the right edge.

Yum!
The bright blue/yellow line on the left is a little tricky for my eyes to focus on too. I like the general way the blue makes the cracker pop to the front in the shot.

Nice composition and BG, with shallow DOF in this shot. 12 points : )

Day 24 - Drop

If you know exactly where the drop is going to land, you can hold a pencil or small object there, and manually focus on that. I like the taffy colored look of the water in this shot. IreneM is the queen of this kind of stuff. She posts the shooting info with the images in her profile if you want to learn the techniques.

I feel that there are 4 things going on in this image. There is one sharp spot, the wing tip, which is near the brightest area of the image. The reflection of the tree offsets that bright area, directing attention to it. The curves and lines in the motion blurred ripples lead to the bird from 2 directions. Good focus for an on the move pan shot.

Nice looking python! Scales are difficult to light without getting a lot of highlights. Good focus, DOF, and POV for this shot. This must be a pet?

Woo Hoo! Having a look at the DPC lowest ever pages, you made page 2, and just above the bad "Kitty" shot. I see that there have been others to explore this dark side before you.
On the "bright" side, though, you got 3 10's and 3 9's so someone understood what you were saying.
