Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This photo was taken last fall up at Wilderness State Park which is one of the more botanically rich places in Michigan. Unfortunately, early fall is not the best time for flowers in bloom and even birds were scarce. This momma Eastern chipmunk would visit our campsite hoping for a peanut or two. Evidence of passed territorial battles are evident by the notch on one of her ears. Chipmunks are very territorial and many battles occur when food caches are raided.
Specific Feedback
I like the blades of grass which provide a base for the chippy. I did not try any curves adjustments, but enhanced the micro-contrast for emphasizing the texture in the fur. What would you do to provide some additional pop in the image?
Technical Details
Z9 600mm f4 + 2.0 TC (1/200 sec at f13, ISO 3200, Manual fill flash) Levels, DeNoise, crop for comp, micro-contrast enhancement, Brightness & Contrast. I brought the wrong flash so could not take advantage of ittl fill flash…Jim
