TC Clinic 3 2024-25 Great Blue Herons Dispute Territory Top N 27 TC BPP Lan Gao Nature Bronze J3 Great nature story, and at first hard to discern the two birds juxtaposed against each other. Both herons are sharp and well exposed. Perspective look Top P 25.5 TC DP Victor Turczynski Pictorial Master Anke and Dog Top P 25.5 TC GPP Peter McCusker Pictorial Gold Japanese Maple 25 TC SPP Barbara Bialon Pictorial Silver J1 The image is well exposed and sharp. The lighting is well handled and the subject fills the frame. Some of the details in the tree trunk and branches are in dark shadows, which could be lightened somewhat. J3 Quite a wonderful perspective of the Japanese Maple. The tree branches which standout prominently display the classic Mandelbrot Fractal pattern. The great fall colours of the leave form a great background. Full Moon over the Pier Top P 25.5 TC DP Geoff Dunn Pictorial Master Ruby Throated Hummingbird Female 25 TC SPP Jon Dun Nature Silver J2 The inherent beauty of the hummingbird has been well captured with beautiful lighting, tones and textures. The composition is well done and the subject is sharp. The background has a nice degree of bokeh allowing the hummingbird to stand out. There is a nature story with all the pollen on the face of the bird but a stronger story would help. Inside The Rubik#039;s Cube Factory Top C 26 TC DP Bertin Francoeur Creative Master Killdeer 25.5 TC DP Jim Thomson Nature Master J1 The image is well exposed and tells a great nature story. The shutter speed was well chosen to freeze the action and water drops. However, the image is oversharpened which resulted in digital noise throughout.
