Hi Everyone! Thank you for being a member of the Plus community. In this recap we highlight everything from the past month and take a look at what’s in store next month. We hope that Plus has been a fun distraction for you all during this tough time. There was a ton of awesome learning materials in May to help fuel your passion and learn something new, enjoy!
We had some stellar photos posted this month in the ON1 Plus Critiques gallery. We also saw a group of new folks posting, and we saw a lot more activity in the comments, both of which we love to see. Thanks to everyone for participating!
Hudson and I went through the gallery, and chose 30 photos that we felt showcased good work, or offered some teaching moments that could help us all. And, since we can’t critique every photo submitted, we have gone through and commented on many of the photos submitted. And, with that, here are a few of our favorite photos from the month.
3253 Berry Picker, by Paule Hjertaas
Paule’s shot of a Hepatic Tanager with a berry in its beak is spectacular: the face, eye and the berry are perfectly in focus, as is the claw holding the bird to the branch. And the composition is wonderful too, with a lovely blurred background, and the right amount of negative space at the bottom right of the frame. Just wonderful, Paule.

This month, there isn’t a theme, but a few people mentioned that they had missed an opportunity to submit for last month’s theme. If you’d like to continue along with the pandemic/isolation/quarantine theme, feel free to do so. Put the hashtag #isolation in the description field, with a little bit about what made you choose this photo.
