Guarding the Flock

[Allen_Brooks]

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Wasn’t sure whether to put this in avian or wildlife, but the seal seems the most prominent animal-so wildlife. I caught the seal as it was looking in my direction, though I’m sure it wasn’t looking at me as I was at least a hundred yards away. But, I liked the look and how the seal seems to be protecting the Harlequin Ducks.

Specific Feedback

Any thoughts appreciated.

Technical Details

Canon R5; 100-500 at 500 mm; 1/640 at f7.1; ISO 160

Allen: Cool scene and I like the expression on the seal. You might edit the image and add tags for avian and wildlife. David did an edit on one of my recent images to reflect that it was a close up and plant life. I think that might be a useful thing to consider. >=))>
