The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Just a heron catching a fish … taken at a bit more of a distance than I would have liked
Specific Feedback
I’m specifically wondering where to crop this on the bottom. I would prefer to not have the ducks there, but is it too tight on the bottom if I crop them out? Is it level? Any other feedback appreciated.
Thank Sandy! I was going to submit this is the nature category of my local photography clubs monthly competition. The rules for the nature category don’t permit removing things, but I can crop them out. I adjusted the crop a little to lose the bright things you pointed out. Thoughts?
Hi Elizabeth, nice catch of the fish flip showing terrific feeding behavior. Given the busy surroundings, I like the choice of a close crop. The foreground ducks are a bit of a distraction to me but I do agree cropping them out would be too tight. Too bad the heron is angled slightly away from us. I like the rework taking out the miscellaneous bright elements.
Very nice catch!! The Heron is beautifully sharp and the crop worked well. The ducks blend into the environment well enough. Good luck with the competition!
