All the best for you, guys and gals, and your families. I whish you a very happy new year :) Juan

A fantastic image Doug. Very, very good job and big congratulations. :cheers:

I am sure that we all agree that subtle differences in a few degrees of head turn between two frames of the same series may help photographers (the author of the image, a magazine´s editor, a contest´s judge, etc) to choose which one is the best. This can be done, of course, if there are two or...

Hi and thanks a lot for your comments :) Arthur, the head angle works fine here in my opinion. Of course, everyone can have a personal point of view about that. Why in this case head angle works for me? Quite simple. The bird is in the middle of a landing action and she is looking directly to...

Hi Fernando, this one is really nice. Composition works very well for me and I love that creamy BG and the head turn but, what I like the most, is the fantastic texture of the feathers of this guy from the adult and young plumage. Very good job and keep them coming :) Fernando ésta me gusta...

Not sure about the reasons but the original post looks quite good in my monitor (no traces of red cast). Peter didn´t mention a red cast but both, you and Doug are watching a red cast (?) The repost looks like a damaged jpg or like a posterized image in my monitor. It is probably due to an issue...

A young white stork in the very first light of the morning. This bird has been growing in a nest at the top of a cliff in the coast. The fantastic light of the rising sun is painting her white and black feathers with warm hues. Comments and critics are highly apreciated :) Nikon D300 AFS...

Greg I love this one. It looks like one of those XIX century plates illustrating classic books.

I like the original composition a lot. The eagle looks really majestic but, man, thae textures on that granite rock are just a perfect compliment. Original post looks perfect in light and colors in my monitor but in Artie´s repost most part of blacks areas are showing and intense greenish cast...

Just beautiful Krijn. Love the light, colors, low angle, composition (perhaps a bit tight at the top) and the action. Very good job and look forward to see more images from Svalbard :)

Perhaps a bit tight in the frame for my taste but that low angle is jus fantastic. Love that pink ocular ring on this beautiful dove. TFS

Quite different but nice pose. The high key works very fine here and I love the details in the eye

Nice light, BG and action Joe. i wonder if you have one like this but with the complete reflection. Color looks fine in my monitor :)

Hi all, I apologize for the delay in getting back to this thread. Thanks a lot for your input :)

Thank you guys for the comments :) Greg, I agree is a bit tight in the frame but I do not have a decent one with the bare lens because I was trying to get images of fying birds and didn´t want to remove the TC. Going a few steps back was not a solution because af the conditions of the cliff. OK...

It works for me Bonnie, in fact I love the mood in the scene. I think that this one would also work fine in a pano crop (removing part of the upper frame). I do not know if this is a crop of full frame or even if you have another frame with the main subject, the crane in the foreground, placed...

Lorant do not worry, monitors are always showing different sides of the same image :D the most important thing is that the image is really good. Have a nice flight to home :)

Hey Kaustubh, I prefer this one and not only for the crop but also for the opened beak of the kite :)

This white stork was photographed in april in the same nest of the nest showed in my last post so it is probably even the same bird. I made this image almost at the same moment of the day, first hours of the morning in a very claer day, but right from the oposite direction. I was shooting from...

Hey Ray, what a nice flight. Love the light and pose of the bird, perhaps a slightly better eye contact. Can only imagine how much you enjoyed shooting this guys ;)
