Cuando vi tu foto me llamo la atencion, pero sinceramente no me convencio por el tema del concurso. Tal vez si el tema hubiera sido aves tu foto habria obtenido un mejor lugar.
Me gusta el color que lograste y me imagino que fue dificil pues parece un contraluz. Tal vez descentrando el ave hacia uno de los puntos de oro le pueda dar mas impacto a tu toma.
This is a pretty scene, and a nice capture of the bird. The tree has too much variance - and too much of it in focus - to work well as negative space, though, especially with the daylight glaring through the spaces.
Gorgeous bird. However, I dont feel that the leaves and branches are uniform enough to give a "background feel". Perhaps a closer crop on the bird to try to get rid of most of the branches? Or perhaps a wider aperture? =)
My kids love the sound these make. We have mourning doves right outside our window. I like how you neg space is not really all that negative. Certainly the bird gets the focus here, but the leaves are interesting, too. Maybe that precludes them from belonging to a negative space? I like.
Sorry but for this challenge I don't think this works. I see the background before I see the bird. The background should accent the bird not hide it IMO. Good luck.
