Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I stopped by the side of the road in hopes of getting some taking off action shots of this red-tail. While I was waiting for it to take off I grabbed a couple of perched shots. I happened to get this pose of it looking down in the direction of the warning sign. It seems to know what it says. It took off moments later.

Specific Feedback

Composition? Exposure? Anything?

A fun image, Dave. It’s probably just the engineer in me, but I’d level the cross-beam perch.

Cool shot, Dave. The pose is great.

Hi Dave,
This is a great commentary kind of image. The kind that ends up in magazines, best photo op of the year kind of thing.

Aside from that, it’s well shot and a fantastic portrait of a bird playing with fire! I can’t decide whether it’s saying “Oh $4it” or “Go ahead, make my day!”
