GBH nest

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

I really liked the BG in this capture as did most of the rest of the photographers at Wacko on Monday. Wondered how you like the over-all image?

Looks like you had to deal with very harsh light conditions. Like the action but it would be much better if both subjects get involve in the same action.

Another issue I see here is Multi-segment metering. Multi-segment considers background too while calculating exposure. For this images I would have used matrix metering or spot metering.

I agree with Sid about the lighting but like the action you captured. More eye contact would have been nice too. Many thanks for sharing.
