Mother with a baby. But photo cropped on the baby.


Looking forward to suggestions for improvements.

Thanks,

This is wonderful and I love the crop! What would you think about darkening the light strip on the left edge?

Hi Marlies, please note maximum size vertical is 900px, horizontal is 1200px also can you confirm if this image is Captive or Wild?

I quite like the comp, but overall the image is not sharp, the eyes which are the key to the image need to be crisp, with detail & definition. I would also look to applying so Noise reduction to the BKG too.

Hi Marlies - I think the crop/comp is an excellent idea, it creates intimacy and and these guys are adorable! Unfortunately, I am with Steve that the IQ and focus lets the image down.

Thank you all for the given feedback.

Steve: this was in the wild in the Krugerpark

Nice crop/framing here, Marlies.
I agree with Steve though, it needs to be much sharper. How much did you actually crop?
Would love to see your thoughts on some posts by other folks as well, helps everyone grow in their critique-giving and fosters a community spirit
