Hello from the critique club
An interesting image that contributes to the challenge
A documentary style image that accurately records this magnificent bird in hovering flight with good detail throughout. As far as it goes it is well executed but there are a few things I feel would have improved the image to take it from a static record shot to something a bit more dynamic. I feel it is rather too closely cropped, and waiting for a flap of the wings with a slower shutter speed would have injected a sense of motion into it, particularly in relation to the challenge brief too. I always feel diagonals work well and particularly here to see the wings spread diagonally would have made the composition far more interesting. Perhaps some desat on the blue to reduce its impact would help a little too. There is still good detail in the bird at this exposure though perhaps just a 1/3 stop more exposure may have benefited. Thanks for your entry Anton. |
