Intial Impact: I think it is ok. You could have benefitted from a little more post processing.
Sharpness: The focus and dof is very nice here. Everything appears to be in good focus including the water drops on the beak and brush.
Composition: I think you could have improved this had you not got so close to the duck. I see in your edits that you didn't crop it so maybe back up just a little and get more of the duck.
Overall: Like I said above I think it is a little too tight. Also the grapes could have used a little bump in color to make the green stand out a little more. I normally don't like borders too much but in this photo it works and doesn't take away from your photo. I think the border actually helps it. Also it seems a little underexposed could be your lights. Maybe more lights or use your flash. The background is very dark also and could use more light. I would suggest one light for the background and one light for each side of the duck. I would like to see more light on the back side of the duck in the right of the picture.
Good luck in all future challenges. |
