Jasenka @jasenkag – Thanks for your comments! Yes, you are right the overexposed parts of the image, ie the flames, cannot be fixed.

Lenny @el-dub – thanks for your comments, too! In recent times I have basically forgotten about the possibility of bracketing the exposure, so it is a very timely reminder. Will have to get the option back into my…[Read more]

Hi Patrick, many thanks for your comment. I must admit that I am pretty lazy when it comes to changing the white balance setting. I tend to fix it, if necessary, in post production. This image would be enhanced in that way, I feel sure, should have noticed. At the moment, my wife and I  are in an airport hotel, Brisbane, ready for an early…

I think that Rob has identified the essence of the task, Lenny, giving the image even more relevance. 🙂

Very nice, Lenny, and I think that Patrick’s enhancement lifts it just that bit more. 🙂

Thanks Elin, I was conscious of those parts on the edge and you have prompted me to have a go at removing, which was much easier than I had feared.  Got rid of the sign, etc and additionally the wording “Tower”.  The curves, even with very small movements seemed to me to produce quite a big change (far more than what I usually see), so the m…[Read more]

Very well thought out and executed, click. I am impressed! 🙂

Wow, love it Click!  Hearty Congratulations.  Great pick by @JasenkaG.  I want to echo the comment by Elin  @elax, as would really like to know what it is and the story.

Thanks Dahlia and Robert for your encouraging comments.

I do agree with you Frank, similar thoughts had crossed my mind, however I did think that adding the bit of the head missing would increase its appeal to an even wider audience.  However, as usual I found that making the change took up more time than I estimated.  Even more so, because l…[Read more]

Very nice indeed, Robert.  Captivating!

Love it, Lenny! Agree about the highlights.

Many thanks for your feedback Tobie, Dahlia, Ken & Frank.   Mistakenly, I thought that I had already posted this edit where I have added the top of the bird’s head and some extra sea.  Hope you think that improves the image!?

Many thanks for your feedback, Diane & Jasenka!  Unfortunately, the crop is because the albatross was close to the edge in the pic.  It shared space with two giant petrels, the three of them occasionally being aggressive (the one against two) over the sharing of the food.

I have worked on the beak which was not quite what I remember. Added a l…[Read more]

Hi @Jasenkag – thanks for the feedback.  Here is the full image, which mostly extends at the front and a bit up-top.  It does at least give interesting bubbles and flow.  What do you think now?

Marvellous harmony, Dahlia!  Just right in so many ways.

Wow, looks unreal, Diane, but compelling!
