Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending August 10th, 2012: Russell Johnson - Critique composition

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Russell!!!

Took this image last year, and would appreciate your thoughts.

I have a similar shot taken vertically, though would be interested to see how you feel this composition works? I appreciate that the subject is dead centre, yet I don't feel this detracts from it.

Canon 1D Mark IV
70-200 @70mm
1/1250 @4.5
ISO 640.

Any other crit welcome.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Big congrats on this one, Russel!

A cracking POV Russell, well done.
