Painted Stork in flight

Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I was just trying to fine tune the AF of camera and trying to achieve background blur with the help of shutter speed alone.

Specific Feedback

Any

Technical Details

Canon R5 II; 500mm; ISO 640; 1/250 at f 20.

Hi Jagdeep. I like what the relatively slow shutter speed did to the background. I’m a little less fond of what it did to the wings. The bird’s left wing tip isn’t bad, but to my eye it’s right wing (our left) looks really odd. I think it’s just the structure of the wings that tends to bother me, since they’re so sharp right out to the point where suddenly they’re not. On a bird with less wingspan, I think this technique would really work sell.

The head and body look great, Jagdeep, and I like the look the stork seems to be giving you. The bird’s right wing looks odd, not matching the left one-rolling shutter? The bird does pop nicely against the background.

Hi J Rajput
As always, you are giving us a great photograph, and leason camera setup. I was under the impression that going over f13 would cause artifacts in a digital camera? Nice work.
