With the brush on top of it's hood, it reminds me a bit of Marvin the
Martian (my favorite Looney Tunes Character )

Thank you for the comments.
Mark- I would like to see your No Swimming, but I did not find it
on your site
Paul Stenquist- I agree that this shot is muddy, as you say. And
since I am relatively new to this, you must pardon my silly questions.
Is the muddiness due to the BW conversion that I
Hi,
A couple of things. The tonality is muddy and flat. At first glance it
seems that a little more contrast would be helpful. A couple of
questions/comments: have you ever seen exhibition quality BW silver
prints? If not, hie the to a museum or gallery and see what they look like
and the
I would think the muddiness is a function of the conversion. There
are many conversion methods that work well. If you're working in
PhotoShop, try using the channel mixer for a start. Just cick on
monochrome and work with the three channels to get a pleasing effect.

I would think the muddiness is a function of the conversion.
that's what i thought. Earlier this afternoon, I recalled someone
made a comment about a different PESO with a BW conversion, that it
reminded him a photo that used to be color. I think that applies to
this one as well. Also, I am
I'm not an expert in the area of BW filtration, but I believe a green
filter will lighten foliage but darken skin tones. That could be part
of your problem. Shoot without a filter until you get yoru bearings
on a standard conversion. The less you have to deal with at first,
the better.
I do shoot filterless, I meant that was the filter used in the conversion
i think that it helped to highlight the bird. which i suppose needing
to highlight the bird is more evidence that Picasa isn't my best
choice for BW conversions

I like it.
Russell,
I like the expression on the Mom's face in the background, kid too.
I'd like to see some more of the falcon.
It is interesting that the falcon is looking into your lens.

I like it - the boy looks like he's a little apprehensive to be so close
to a bird with sharp talons and beak. I browsed the rest of your site
too. You have some nice work there.
A comment on your site design - while blue is a favorite color of mine,
I find your navigation links with a blue

Russel, I feel like I must
In terms of composition and subject matter this is a worthy effort
and is to be commended. But it's extremely muddy. There is no
separation of midtones. Most of it is a bit soft, even the bird is
not quite in focus. But you have a good eye. Work on your exposure
and rendering.
