Over the last few years I have enjoyed watching and photographing the various birds that have visited my feeders. I recently hung some hummer feeders and managed to get a few decent shots. Your C&C's are welcome and appreciated. All with my Cannon EOS Rebel T3 and 75/300 zoom - sports setting, most with manual focus.

I really don't like #1, #3 should be level..
Thank you 1eyedjack for your comments. As for #3, I actually took the photo by bending down and holding the camera upside down and hoped that it was in focus.
Have a great evening.

Thank you Ian for your kind words. Didn't play chess on board either as the pieces were so huge. Have a great evening.

Thanks for sharing, was the first photo from outside the ship?
The first photo was from the bow of the ship looking thru one of the glass windows next to the walkway with focus on the reflection of the sunrise and other parts of the railing. I was entranced with the perspective of seeing two photos in one without being a double exposure.
I'll post the original so you can see where I started with this particular one.
Thank you for your interest.

Recently back from the Bahamas, your comments and critiques are welcome.
The first photo has been modified, but the other 2 are straight from the camera.
Thank you for stopping and commenting. Have a blessed day.

MtnMan, nicelites made many of the same suggestions as you and I will work more with layers to see what I can accomplish. Please see the response I made to nicelites as it also applies to you. Thank you again for taking the time to look at the photo and give constructive suggestions, I really appreciate it.

I'm just starting to work with layers so this is what I see as potential. There are 5 distinct parts of this pic: Foreground foliage, Sand dune, Ocean, Mountains and Sky.
Separate the 5. Improve each each at least 3 ways. Then experiment with various layer assemblies.

Thank you nicelights, I've not worked much with layers but I'll give it a try. Thank you for reading my comments about the photo. As there was a lot of fog coming in off the ocean and the window on the train was probably not the cleanest, I know that it wasn't an optimal shot, nor could I take the time to get clean focus or compose the photo as I if I were actually at the dunes. But i found the contrast of terrain endearing.

Vermont Covered Bridge
Is that a Townsend type construction bridge? There were many built under his design during the Civil War era in both the North and South. We lost the Salem-Shotwell bridge a few years ago to tornado damage. What remained can be found now in a park in Opelika, AL. The Salem bridge was on the national registry of covered bridges.
BTW, wonderful shot!! Thank you for sharing.

This was taken on a moving train, with a mist coming off the pacific.
Given that information, what could I do to make this pop?
I've tried to correct the contrast and hilights, but feel that I may have overdone it.
Unfortunately, I don't have the stats available to me right now.

Thank you Ian, and you are quite correct in the spontinaity of the shot. She was there for a minute and gone the next. She is a cutie tho, and I've missed several candid shots that would have been even better. Which is why my high school photography teacher was insistant that we carry our cameras everywhere because we never knew when that special shot would make an appearance. I'm trying to get back into the habit of doing just that.

It's just the way I remember it, it's been 15 years since I've been there. There was so much to see. I always wondered why they didn't maintain the railroad " to the clouds".
on the overlook they have several photos with information in regards to the railway and the walkout. it was very impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you one and all for your comments. I look forward to hearing what others perceive in what I shoot. In the second shot I was going for the effect that the train tressel was coming out of the overlook. Did I achieve it?
