Freestyleby BrinComment: I have seen horses do this yawn thing, but it's really a quick event. Great catch and timing. Makes for a very eye catching and memorable image. "9" |

Pathway to Ascensionby LalliSigComment: Great lighting. Superb symbolism, or analogy, or metaphor... whatever it is. This is a very memorable image. Love the contrast of this beauty in a very ugly place, with a way out, but no apparent way to reach the light. Brilliant photography! A "10" from me. Hope to see this as a ribbon winner. |

Early Arrivalsby PrismComment: These scenes are almost always better with softer light, which happens +/- 90 minutes on either side of the sun/horizon events. In the middle of the day you will need to contend with harsh light and washed out colors, although a faster shutter speed will allow capture of flocks of birds in some detail, as you have demonstrated in this image. I strongly feel that flocks of birds, or individual birds, often look like a "mistake" unless there is some bird detail showing. I usually prefer the birds (and jet contrails, and cars, and people, and trash from MacDonald's) move through the scene before I expose the image.
I should add that the dynamic range of this scene is a bit too wide, with loss of detail in the dark shadows and loss of detail in the bright portions of the sky. At this point in time, cameras cannot capture what the eye can see in the middle of the day. Until the technology allows captures of big dynamic ranges, we all should confine our landscape photography to times of smaller dynamic ranges in the scenery.

Sturgeon River in Springby PrismComment: So, is this a landscape scene or a wildlife scene? Not that there is anything wrong with a landscape scene containing a wildlife element. But, if that is the goal, then the ducks are a very minor and too far away element. Immediately noticeable is the dark nature of the tree area. Almost like a neutral density artifact, or transition, between the foreground and the sky. Certainly possible a cloud shaded the trees, but in this shot the sky looks pasted in because the trees are so "unnaturally" dark with a lack of detail. Overall a good image, but needs to have a better foreground anchor (like closer ducks) and a better transition between foreground and sky, other than a starkly dark forest. |
