I see a tighter vertical crop, running from slightly left of the birds tail to down the center of the yellow growth in the background. Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: "Bruce Dayton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PESO - Humming > Taken yesterday in Go

I like the crop, but I'd suggest going even further and taking out the rest of the flower on the right, making the frame more in the portrait orientation. (similar to the second crop per Shel's suggestion, but leaving in the top of the background flower.) Nice photo & cute bird. Cheers, Dave On

Nice Bruce. Your crop works for me. Possible a very small amount tighter on the left side to get rid of the little blurred background item towards the bottom. Tom C. >From: Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List >To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Oh the birdy is damn near perfect... II like the geometry but the bloom in the back isn't blurred enough not to be distracting... this is a case where edge to edge sharp would work too. but you really captured the hummers colors and that is sooo tough! ann Bruce Dayton wrote: >Taken yesterday

Thanks Bob. How much you can crop is partly dependent on the final medium and size. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, December 4, 2006, 5:17:25 PM, you wrote: BS> Wow, great bird picture Bruce. BS> The crop works for me, more crop is ~?!? BS> Regards, Bob S. BS> On 12/3/06, Bruce Dayton <[EMAI

How about flipping it horizontally? I'm still distracted by the brilliant yellow in the background just a thought - the bird looks great though... ann Bruce Dayton wrote: >Thank you sir. I have a new suggested crop from Shel that looks >pretty good. > >Here it is: > >http://www.daytonphoto.

I know what you mean about the colors. It was really strange to be looking through the finder and as the bird would turn it's head, the colors would jump out and then go dark. Almost like a little lighthouse. Seems that they only reflect the bright colors from a certain angle. -- Bruce Monda
