Great Blue Heron by Pat Wintemute - Nature
J1 This is a beautiful image of the heron taking off. The water splash add to the story. The wings are exposed perfectly and they are sharp. The background water is natural but not distracting and the colours make the heron pop. A minor flaw in this great image is the small white spot on the cheek is a bit hot 70D EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM 1/1600 sec F5.6 ISO 320 FL 278
Hullmark Building by Ed Espin - Pictorial
J1 This is a good use of B&W. It makes the viewers eyes follow the lines in the building. Well done. Nice job on the clouds which give a great background to the building

J1 The is a good example of being at t he right place at the right time then using capture skills to get the correct exposure. Elongating the exposure gives the clouds a nice look, which serve as a good background element NIKON D7500 10.0-20.0 mm f/4.0-5.6 25 sec F16.0 ISO 100 FL 20
