Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

Taken at a rookery in Louisiana. The pond was covered in water lettuce which makes the frog tougher to distinguish in the photos.

Specific Feedback

Taken when the sun went behind the clouds. Wondering if another boost of overall exposure and saturation would bring up the impact of these images.

Technical Details

Canon R7, 200-800mm
ISO 4000, f10, 1/2000s

This is such a great sequence Allen. That poor frog didn’t look too happy in the third image, as it probably knew the outcome wasn’t going to be good. Some vignetting around the edges of the frame might help the subject stand out, but otherwise well photographed.

Indeed this is a wonderful sequence of photos. The third photo certainly tells an unfortunate story for the frog.
