The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Amid the serenity of the blue, the darter’s feathers tell a story of life on the wing. As it scratches, each feather bends and flexes, a display of beauty and functionality intertwined, a natural marvel that reminds us to appreciate the quiet splendor of such everyday scenes.
Hi Saundie. Another striking image. The angle of light provides a dramatic display of the feathers and textures on the bird. Love the pose you caught the bird in - that long neck and sharp beak are something else! The total sharpness of the bird is great too - f10 with a pretty fast shutter speed was a good choice. Pleasing BG also with the hint of clouds. Well done.
Blacks feel very heavy but that could just be differences in taste. It is dramatic, just a bit different from the usual nature interpretation. But that isn’t something I can criticize, only point out. You are an advanced photographer so I’ll give you full credit for a somewhat unique viewpoint!
Thanks Diane! I do have a thing for those dark blacks! I don’t think I’ll claim the advanced photographer status yet, still have much to learn. Thanks for the feedback!
