Grieving gelding

one thing to keep in mind is with borders, less is more. I know you wanted to separate the image to meet the challenge but the borders totally killed your image. All the viewer sees now is the very large blue boxes. Keep it subtle like a thin black border. See the slight one that is around every picture on this site? Little thicker than that and you'd be good to go.

Better luck next time.

totally cool shot, I've wanted to try shots like this but I don't have a head on my monopod that allows it to be adjusted to different angles. I'd love to see this shot maybe out more to the side to maybe cut you out of it or find a way to have the monopod secured to the boat so you can let go of it and look more relaxed and natural. Still a cool shot.

Nice shot, even the unedited one is nice really nice. They are supposed to have monthly events here where you can get up close and personal with the 22s while they are on island but I'm not sure if we get to photograph it...I sure hope so. I work on one side of the flight line and live on the other so I hear this bad boys all day long...makes me jump to the window every time lol.

Very cool shot. I would love to get images like this but not sure what it would take to get the clearance paperwork. Maybe I'll take that sunset picture I have over to them and see if I can get clearance for more. I love the bit of afterburn coming out the tail.

absolutly beautiful, I love that you kept some foreground in there, I think most would have cut it at the tree line.

I long for the day I can get to shoot these. I tried once in Northern Illinois but was freezing before they appeared so I gave up lol.

how did you get the other branches blurry while the berries are nice and sharp? Is there a lens baby in your arsenal? It's a really cool effect.
