This is the second time around for posting. This is an Eastern Kingbird shot at Forsythe Wildlife Refuge in June of 2008. Hope you enjoy this one. Your comments & pointers are welcomed.
Shot with Canon 20D, AV, average metering, 1/500 @ f 8, with 70-300mm @ 235.
I am liking the bird Eileen !!! I like how you gave room for the tail, so easy to cut off !!! I was tempted to suggest moving the bird slightly right but do the leaf's framing !!
Sharp, well exposed and managed the bg well !!! Pleasing image one I would be proud to have !!!
Hi Eileen,
I like it as presented...I like the natural framing of your subject provided by the surrounding leaves...you have a good head angle and good eye contact...my only suggestion would be to selective sharpen the eye just a tad more...good show, looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Eileen, I like the composition and agree w/ Gus on a bit more sharpening to the eye. I would remove the yellow spot from the BG above his head. Great pose and HA -Well done.
Beautiful bird and composition, Eileen. I agree with Denise about that little yellow spot although I didn't see it until I read her comment and then couldn't not see it---might try a little noise reduction on the darker shadowed background.
All good advuce above - would run some NR on the background. Like the pose and the head angle - the bright yellow dot abovethe birds head is a tad distracting.
Looking forward to more - keep them coming :)
Thanks for the tips. I have reworked your suggestions into the image and am reposting the shot. Have I accomplished my assignment? I hope so, I'm anxious to learn. Thanks for the comments
