Well i have been admiring your Avian photography for some time , and i think it's time for me to better myself so ill start with this Heron i captured last week. Im open to all critique :)
Hi Glenn,
A very big welcome to our BPN family...:)
I like your composition very much, you have sharp details and very good color rendition. I like the background; it shows habitat. The subject is too centered in the frame; it needs to be off center to the right side. I took the liberty of making a few minor adjustments to your image. I started by cropping from the top and from the right section of the frame. I blurred the top layer of your background to bring more attention to the main subject, I opened up the eye just a tad, and sprinkled selective sharpening on the eye and area around it, also lightened the bird just a little, increased your saturation and contrast and selective sharpened the wings of the bird...see if you like it...:cool:
Hi Glenn and welcome. Nice first post. You will find lots of help and guidnce here as witnessed by Gus's informative critique. These folks have helped me a ton. :)
Thanks for the warm welcome guys :) Gus thanks for what you have done here , i will try to do the same in the future. Denise this was taken about 30 miles from were i live in Fort-Coulonge, i was down on all fours for this one . I was my first session with a new used lens (Sigma 170-500) that i got off of ebay. Again thank you all :)
It is our pleasure, to have you as a member of the family Glenn, You don't know what you got yourself in to...:eek::p;):):D...anyway; looking forward to seeing more of your creations...:)
I like how you included some of the environment around the bird Does make a pleasing image and adds to the mood. Like the re post by Gus a lot !!! Hoping for many more !!!
