Dear UHH members,
Sorting through my images is done on a regular basis. February has been a prolific month and I produced more pictures than usual. Now it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff. I've chosen 12 images that will be put into a special file. It's from this file where photographs for book #3 will come from.
I thought it would be productive if I could get a some feed back from you. Judging pictures like these is very subjective and that I understand.
I'll tell you some of the standards I have set for myself in choosing these.
They have to be sharp. Exposures and colors have to be correct. Back grounds have to be pleasing and not compete with the subject. BG cannot contain distracting objects that will lead the eye away from the subject.
There can be no preference of one subject over another.
Common birds have the same importance as the exotic ones.
Now I'm asking you to pick one that appeals to you, but pick just one. I'd appreciate this greatly. When this set has run it's course I'll publish the results.

Thank you so much in advance.
Joe
