I think the selective color offsets the centered composition nicely. Wonderful focus and tonal range. I even like the border. My only nit is that I probably wouldn't have colored the green leaves of the yellow flowers. Still, outstanding work.

GORGEOUS!!! Love the colors and layers. Beautiful gradient.

Comment by SJCarter:
Beautiful capture of one of my favorite birds. Great focus & DOF. There is a black editing remnant on the rope directly underneath the macaw's foot though, that you should probably fix. Hopefully, you have a previous edit. :-)

Comment by ecdillon:
What a cool photo. I love that you can sense, but not really clearly see, the snow falling around him. I also like that he is not looking straight at you, but one eye is fully in the light and the other more in shadow. The touch of green in the bottom left and the spots of brown in the upper right add interest too I think.

Savannah Fountain

Comment by jpochard:
That old tree sets up the composition for this shot perfectly. I like the b/w. I agree the fountain is just a bit overblown, but not bad. It looks very welcoming. Looks like it would be a great location for a wedding shot.

view from navajo bridge

Comment by jpochard:
Is this from that glass bridge out over the canyon? The new one? I've seen drawings of what it would look like and thought it would be so cool! If this is it, was it a bit dizzying?

EDIT: Never mind! It's not the bridge I thought it might be. Still, a wonderful clear shot.

Grand Canyon dusk

Comment by jpochard:
Wow. Just outstanding! I wish you could lessen the "noise", but you'd lose some detail, so I don't know if the trade off is worth it. This is really one of the prettiest canyon shots I've seen as far as composition and tones.
