Perhaps I'm out of line writing this, and if so, please let me know.
This is a request that those of us posting images for critique include sufficient information to enable informed critiques. In particular, I notice we aren't including information about our post processing, which leaves me wondering what was done in camera and what in PP.
Below are the relevant guidelines provided in a message from James Shade at the top of this forum
Help Us, Help You!
Posting an image for critique is an excellent way to rapidly improve any photographers ability to create beautiful images. You can help those offering image critiques by listing details of the capture process.
Listed below are some of the details to include in your post that will help you receive the best critique possible.
Thought Process
Were you creating a Portrait?
An Environmental Image etc.
What obstacles did you face in creating your image?
Location
If an animal, what species? Was your subject captive? Did you attract your subject or subjects into photographic range with food, water, audio, or any other means?
Was your image significantly altered by adding or removing elements of the composition post shutter?
Time of day, weather conditions etc.
Capture
Camera Type and Model
Lens Focal Length and Model
ISO, Metering Mode, Exposure Mode
Exposure Compensation (if used)
Shutter Speed, Aperture
Focus Mode
Tripod, Tripod Head
Flash, Flash Settings
Post Processing
Crop
USM
Levels/Curves
Noise Reduction
Cloning or other modification
You don't need to list all of the above(it would be the most helpful) but list as much as you can and any other factors that had an affect on the final image.
