Hello from the critique club
An appealing image that meets the challenge well
What distinctive birds these are with their spoon shaped bills, hence the name. As a record documentary image this fits the bill (excuse the pun) and also meets the challenge with its reflection. There are a couple of things I’m not so keen on, its a tad overexposed there is a lack of detail around the head and shoulders and the other is the plastic pipe that just serves to emphasise that this is a captive bird. Given the challenge brief I would have cropped this image just above his feet omitting the ring, thus serving to emphasise the reflection and eliminating the problems I have mentioned and making it a more natural looking environment. |
