That's a very attractive pose and a well composed image. I suppose I'd just like to see a little more detail on the swan's head.

Re: PESO - Preening
Dramatic catch, Frank. Framing well chosen. Not surprisingly, I'd like to make out a bit more head and eye detail. Nice lighting, otherwise.

Re: PESO - Preening
Thanks Jack. Both you and Brian mentioned the dark face, and I really didn't know how much I should do about it. I do like it darkish as it is in accord with the light conditions, but perhaps just a bit of detail will work better. I'll give it a go and if something workable comes of it I will re-post. Thanks for you kind words, and thanks to all others who have looked and commented.

Re: PESO - Preening
Its difficult, Frank -- the water is perfect, but the swan .. not so much.. well it would be difficult for me in photoshop anyway - its worth working on - is this the only frame that is close to this in composition that you took? ann On 11/29/2011 09:36, knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Jack.

Re: PESO - Preening
Yeah, this is the only frame where the swan isn't doing silly things like sticking its head underwater to eat or something else unphotogenic. I'll work on it a bit more, see what I can do with it, but I don't want to brighten him too much. Don't want to get too far from what he actually looked like with that backlight .

Re: PESO - Preening
No, and I'm not too happy about that. Actually didn't get that many of this guy before he turned tail and swam away. Usually I'm pretty careful to get reflections in the frame but this time I just missed it. Were I critiqueing this, I'd certainly mention the cut off reflection. ;-) cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com Sent: November 29, 2011 11/29/11 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: PESO - Preening Frank, do you have another uncropped version of this image which includes all of the swan's neck shadow?

Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com The Big Bang was silent, and invisible in it's beginning moments. Photons were one of the earliest particles to develop, but I don't think any were able to escape for a little bit more. Once they could, there would have been a flash during expansion. No one would notice, of course, for another 4.2 billion years. Now we are trying to catch up by looking out, and back in time to that infinitesimally small fraction of a millisecond in an attempt to see what caused that singularity to become the Big Bang. This attempt will fail in any visual way, as the furthest galaxies and elements are now moving faster than light by recent theory, making the information sought beyond a theoretical event horizon. — update to the Pentaxian's thoughts on particle physics, so far. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
