Slogging through the swamp early in the morning
Trying for an artistic vision on this one
I wanted more interfaces in the environment than the bird.
I cannot make up my mind about the foreground out-of-focus bits.
no data
For me, it works better in color-I feel more connected to the environment.
This one isn’t doing it for me, Steve. If you’re trying to emphasize the environment, I feel like the bird should be considerably smaller in the frame. The way this is composed the bird is front and center and commands attention, but it lacks detail without being a real silhouette. Also that dark reflection of a largish tree going right down the middle of the water pulls my eye, so I’m trying to look past the vegetation in the foreground that I think is the habitat you’re trying to convey.
I do like the foreground, particularly the right side of the frame that I think shows the environment well.
Thanks @Allen_Brooks and @Dennis_Plank
I guess I was drawn to the lower right part.
Looking at it again, it makes me dizzy.
Its always those extra eyes.
