Hawk Wasp
Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This young red-shouldered hawk was just thirty feet from the roadway at the Sacramento NWR. It was very patient with us and didn’t move while I shot about fifteen photos. It wasn’t until I got home and looked at the images that I noticed the hitchhiker on the hawk’s side. It didn’t seem to be bothering the hawk, but was kind of weird to see it there.
Specific Feedback
I added some canvas to the right side. I used Gaussian blur on the BG. I used Topaz denoise and sharpen on the cut out of the wasp.
Technical Details
Canon 5D MIII, f8, 1/2000 sec, iso 400, 100-400/1.4TC at 475 mm.
