Greetings from the Critique Club. Thank you for submitting your photo to the Circle challenge.
A good capture of an wild animal. He even appears to be thinking as he feeds on the grass. The colors are very attractive for the image taken.
As a wild life capture it looks good. However, some viewers might have a hard time with the "circle" objective of the challenge. The circle for some members might have to be more obvious. A minimal compliance sometimes urks the voting curve.
Technically, your shot can be appreciated. It shows the subject feeding and enjoying the outdoor life. I am not sure why you chose to crop the image down. A lot of the appeal of this animal is the entire head area. The Ram is a strong and rugged looking animal. Perhaps showing the full view, would be better. I can assume that would have put less emphasis on your circle idea. Animals are always a challenge. You have captured at least one eye. A different angle might have brought both eyes in and created more appeal for you.
Great "bokeh" effect with your lens. Which I assume was not too close.
Sounds like the Glacier National Park could be a photographers dream in capturing plants, flowers and animals. But again the "circle" notion had to be more prominant.
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge – we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting – but scores are all I have.
nice picture but the subject is a little underexposed while everything is a little overexposed. Maybe cropping a little off the left would help composition.
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have. Having said all of this this is a good title and a great photo. 8
I am bumping this one up. I feel that it may be stretching the boundaries of the challenge description, but it is still a fairly clean image, regardless. The one thing that I feel would make it better is if the Ram (?) didn't have all that grass hanging out of his mouth.
Stunningly beautiful photo (and a very unique one too)! I think that if you had shown more of the ram's horns, it would have helped the "circle" theme, but still a nice shot!
interesting idea, good bokeh. Even though I don't like this one very much, I will remember it, so it makes some impression on me.
Was it possible to get a full head-on shot of this? Might be a more interesting angle, or at 45° straight to the eye.
Good luck. 8 because it stuck in my mind.
