Hi,

This one was taken at Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Comments and critiques will be welcome.

Warm greetings.

I would like a better head angle and less distracting background/foreground. Great exposure control, and it's nice and sharp! Interesting bird, thanks for sharing.

Exciting stuff. Six names in a row of folks whose names I do not recognize! Welcome Tomas, and thanks for your membership support. Mr. Knight has provided an excellent critique. I would add that it's nice that you have the face full lit (with the light from the right). To be perfectly honest, the BKGR is very distracting.

Exposure and detail look good. Agree with ha and bg could be better, but not always possible. TFS

Thank you for your advices. I couldn´t change the BKGR, it wasn´t a prepared set up, and I couldn´t change my position.

Warm greetings.

Hi Tomas, Understood. The purpose of the comments is to help folks be aware of what's going on as they look for and evaluate different situations when they are in the field. :)
