Hello
I am no happy for this shoot.
For me composition and game are ok but the image isn't "crisp". I think it is for no right elaboration also if I tried to do right .
What you think about?
iso 1600
f.4
1/4000
Canon 500 f.4
Giovanni-Image looks crisp within the range of foucs, sharp edges etc. Where the details might appear to suffer looks like it has more to do with the subjects being in shadow (note the rim light effect). Was this handheld? Taken from a vehicle? ((vibration concerns) To increase surface detail under these conditions, the light would have to be striking the subjects from a different angle, giving contrast to the texture edges. Of course, the image would take on a totally different look and may not be what you envisioned.

You are on the right track here but the mixed light weakens the photograph. I assume that is shadow on the bottom of the frame, anyway it is distracting. The main subject (the pair) could be sharper was this a large crop? The composition or should I say subject placement is fine one option might be to work with a larger DoF.
Notice the eyes look dark and a bit lifeless lighten that area or a catch light might help. When photographing nature sharp detail with well lit eyes usually produces good results. I like what you are trying to do here. I would either focus on the pair or go for a deeper DoF and capture the entire scene. You control the frame and shooting this wide open (f/4) is not the best way to tell this story with the current crop. Keep em coming, the more you post the better you get!
