A very effective and successful use of the D&B technique. It’s a good, very interesting and involving nature shot, nicely composed and the level of detail is just really lovely. You’ve also shown how dodging and burning works, and shown some restraint without overdoing it (so easy to do). Slightly wish his head and neck was a bit brighter, and I feel the whole thing is not as pink as it could be (pre-conceived flamingoism I’m afraid) but otherwise a stand out job.
My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 2.5/3, challenge* 1/1, post processing results 2/2, ooooh factor 2.5/3, originality 1/1 = 9 (* I don’t think it’s possible to not meet the challenge on this one so everyone gets a 1/1) |
