A Pika munching on a blade of grass - Jasper NP in early October. 1D IV, 500 mm + 1.4X, 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 400, tripod. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
Lovely image here, Steve. Great pose munching on the grass and I also like that you included some of the rock, especially with the rust colored moss. No major issues I can see, but I would try another round of sharpening or detail extraction on the subject. Cheers!
Hi Steve very cute the Pika with the grass stem in its mouth. Nice placement of the subject in the frame .Good detail and sharpness for me with some nice tones and contrast .
I might loose the stony edge in LLC by choosing a slight different crop . Image carries too much yellow for my taste , i would expect slightly cooler colors . But i was not there .
Hi Steve - nice tones and pov with good detail. The blade of grass certainly adds to the image. Almost looks like he's having a smoke. I would crop from the bottom just slightly to remove the oof sliver of rock in the llc.
Just a quality image of a cute critter, Steve. I'd also crop slightly from the bottom.
Can't comment on the colours as I haven't seen them in real life but it looks good to me.
Hi Steve, well this works for me on all counts, love the blade of grass and the vibrant lichen(?) on the rocks with good placement in frame. Both colour & detail look fine, I just worry that adding some DE the image might, in parts start look crunchy?
Cute Critter, I love the blade of grass! Really nice bg, great detail on the critter and the rocks. The orange lichen is not distracting at all and to me adds some nice color and fits in well.
