I presume this is a "remake" of Whiterook's "Crow Attacking an Osprey"? You made it awfully hard to find the original, since the title's different...
Anyway, since Whiterook's shot is just riddled with technical flaws, you've certainly improved in that regard. And the theme is similar, in the sense that both images feature raptors at work: but there the similarities stop.
In the end, this image really isn't working for me. It's just way too cluttered with extraneous background; it's way too hard to see the bird, so the handler's a much more prominent aspect of the image, and that's pretty much the reverse of what you want. I also wish the moment or angle of capture had been such that we could *see* the lure clearly, so the picture would better communicate the dynamics of what's happening here.
A 5 from me. |
