Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

Late in the water lily season and this grouping caught my eye.

Specific Feedback

I think this was a case where I should have used an ND - maybe a 3 or 4 - rather than the polarizer. Also, was disappointed in the lens drop-off, but there was no way to get a 90 degree shot on these guys and I was up high on a bridge.

Technical Details

Nikon D810, 80-400 @400mm

Hey Chris you caught a lot of fun detail in this group. I see pac-mans eating each other up everywhere, where others seem to be kissing, or laughing. Great stories to see in there!
