[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 236732, member: 10784"] Hi Alan, I really should not be critiqueing your stuff... but... I will share a couple thoughts... Fave's (no special order) 1-2 2-16 10-1 (Like rustic - maybe a B&W/Sepia rendition could be effective - clean that green object (lower left) out... 4-1 Also, I like 11-1 for it's "cuteness) 3-3 This could have been/be really great... agree with WUD on the background and would prefer to be cropped tighter (understanding issues if you already have cropped as much as practical.....) Also, the feathers of the body are too dark and low detail... brighten that shadow area... 4-8 I like the effect of the composition but the white along the left border does not have enough detail for me... I would "try" to reduce exposure there to get more detail and clarity and try to subdue the green background on the right. The "graduated filter" in LR5 may help on that... Merry Christmas Alan!
