Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

The oriole feeders have been very busy with lots of new fledglings making their first appearance. Thios male Baltimore oriole decided that the youngster needs to move on and he began to jump off the perch. The youngster kept begging and dad had to return after a few minutes to retrieve is ravenous offspring. I photographed this interaction between rain showers and the dark cloudy conditions made the colors very vivid.

Specific Feedback

My only nit is that its a bit tight on top. My guess is that many of you will share the same thought about this. Should be an easy fix with some content aware fill. How do you feel about this.

Technical Details

Z9 600mm f4 (13200 sec at f8.0, ISO 4000) DeNoise, slight crop, Levels, microcontrast enhancement…Jim

Nice image, Jim. I like the interaction between the juvenile and adult. The youngsters of many species can be real nags when it comes to dinner time. I do like what the conditions did to emphasize the colors in the male. Very well done.

This is a great image. Lovely interaction between the two. The overcast showery day has made for a great opportunity to showoff the birds.

I do feel the top edge is a bit tight and I wouldn’t hesitate to expand it. Another thought would be to turn the image anticlockwise to make the perch a little more diagonal…maybe adding a little more drama? There would still be a little use of content aware. Just a thought Jim. This is a fine image as is.

Very nice image Jim. Love the interaction between these two and the pose of each. Really tells a story. The vivid colors are really nice.

Hi JIm
I wouldn’t add to the upper framing space. The wing is not clipped, and that’s not where my eye goes in this photograph. I am locked on the junvinial.
Nice work.
