Ted, your Inca Tern is super. It has great color, detail and sharpness. I also like the branch which is a good leading line. I hope you don't mind but I felt the background was off. I cropped it and made it a low key image. What do you think? Posted: 01/26/2025 13:23:47
Tom,
Thank you for your critique. I follow your photographic submissions often and respect your authority and vast experience. Yes, I agree with your crop, as well. I just wanted to include the flora and branch for a 3-D feel of the image. Posted: 01/26/2025 23:09:56

Great image. Good detail. I like Tom's Cropping but it is well seen and well done. Posted: 01/28/2025 00:17:27
Ted, this is a beautiful bird and your image is perfect, very sharp and great detail. I was curious to how it would look if cropped with a little bit of foliage showing. Great job! Posted: 01/28/2025 16:29:47
