About the Image(s)
In this photo John Wilson is holding his granddaughter and spinning her around.In the position shown here little Kathleen is being held in the western hemisphere and as he turns her to the left side she is in the eastern hemisphere. While Kathleen is likely enjoying the spinning in circles she is actually spinning to different sides of the world. Visitor have been coming to Greenwich for years just to say they have stood in both hemispheres at the same time. Everyone in our tour group should take a turn having this experience. Who will be first?

Well, I think your description was meant for a different photo, but it's intriguing! :)
I like the eye contact with the bird, it really engages you. Nice job with the processing removing the branch and adding more contrast and richness to the image.
My one suggestion would be on the crop, to take more off the left side. Although the bird is looking at you, it's clearly moving to the right, so having less space on the left and more on the right (in the end image) would be more appropriate.
Very nice image.   Posted: 12/11/2024 21:13:14

Right you are Cindy. I have no idea where that came from. I'll have to check with the tech people to find out what happened.   Posted: 12/13/2024 21:47:13

I've sent an inquiry to IT to find out where the description came from, but have not heard back as yet. Wonder where this came from.   Posted: 12/13/2024 21:54:18

This looks like a Great Blue Heron just starting to show its breeding plumage. The bird looks sharp enough but I really feel the composition could be adjusted. While the bird is facing the camera it is walking toward the right so based on the original you provided I would suggest cropping from the left and using the extra material on the right to provide space for the bird to walk into. Perhaps you could also tone down the blues just a tad for a more natural look.   Posted: 12/13/2024 22:02:22
