Very pretty shot. Love the lone heron (?). Of course the date stamp needs to be gone. I was criticized on my flora shot because it was said by one that the subject was more the background/sunset. I think that there is fauna here, it is just a beautiful backdrop. Just as if someone set one up in their studio. Great shot
this is a really nice photo (except for the date). i think it would have benefitted from some rotation to the right to get the horizon horizontal. i don't know if you could have moved to the right and gotten the bird in the suns reflection in the water, but that would have been very cool.
The example of fauna is rather small, and it would be better without the date. Other than that, the picture is nice, although the horizon is tilted (easily fixed).
You'll probably hear this a lot but please turn off the datestamp! It really drags the eye away from the subject of the pic!
It's a nice shot but perhaps you could have got closer in - it would be hard to pin this down to a theme of 'fauna' if I didn't already know what the challenge was.
This is a really nice photo. I like how the bird, while small, is still the center of this image. It really shows the bird in its natural habitat. The horizon is tilted, unfortunately. I'm hoping the date imprinting was accidental, it is really out of place here. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt = ) - 8 - Mav
this is really nice! i wish that the shore line was leveled (rotation one degree to the right would've fixed that) and there was no date on this picture... i subtracted 2 points for that, so you got 8 from me...
I like the calm peaceful feeling of this photo, but it appears the sunset, as well as, the setting are the main focus here and not bird which is small and obscured by uneven underexposure.
This is a good idea for a picture. There are a few things that would make it better. The horizon could be more level, the subject (crane, heron, duck?) could be less central and larger.
If possible I would have moved more to the left, keeping the glare on the water in about the same position but this would shift the bird to the right.
The date stamp rather obviously detracts - wonder if it might have been worth contacting someone from the site council to ask if a dispensation to allow you to remove it could have been agreed. Nice scene - though the un-horizontal horizon annoys a little
ah.. you're probably getting a lot of this, but try to turn off the date stamp on your camera. it really throws off the whole photo. to save this, try cropping it out.
Why is there a date in the picture! And the picture is titled to the left. It's a really good pic other then that, although the animal is way to small.
I know that you'll get a lot of comments on this and sorry about that...but you must turn off the date stamp on your camera. This is a BEAUTIFUL photo, but I know that it will not score as it should because everyone will pick on the time stamp.
[Comment only] Oh boy, that date really ruins a promising picture. Disable that feature the next time you want to shoot to submit to DPC. Another thing to look out for would be making the horizon perfectly horizontal. Your exposure is good here, as are focus and composition. However, the bird is so small in the frame that this image really is more of a landscape than a fauna picture.
