*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A lovely bird study that meets the challenge well.
This is a very competent bird shot, with good sharp focus on the eye with good feather detail throughout. Your chosen aperture isolates the bird well from the background. I find the portrait orientation gives the bird too little space to look into with too much extraneous space above and below. Perhaps a landscape with the bird in the same position but with more space to look into might have worked better? There is a lot of twiggery but there's not a lot you could do about that.
I am here to give you my honest and critical opinion and there are a couple of relatively minor things I would have altered. I'm thinking it was probably snowing at the time? It's a shame it wasn't heavier but there are three white spots that stand out, I think they would have been better to be cloned out completely. The other is the twig immediately behind the end of the birds beak, I think again, I would have cloned this out too.
It's a nice exposure with good detail on the bird and the background highlight is not too overblown and distract, all in all a very good attempt, Sid |
