Starting of bird photography from oct 2008 i have been trying to learn from various places and finally spending few days here watching others posts i have posted first image.
I was just so close to this cute bird on directional light and on the edge of waterbody from where i cant go further right to get little more front angle. This is a full frame image Exif given bellow :
Camera : Nikon D300 Lens : Nikkor 80-400D ED VR f4.5/5.6 Exposure : 1/640 sec Aperture : f/9 ISO Rating : 640 Captured On : 2009-05-17 07:31:10
Welcome Mital! I like the BG and wow, really lucky to get so close to a kingfisher! I would suggest eliminating the roots sticking up in front of the bird though. Full frame is a bit tight IMO, you could add some canvas on top? Good work!
Welcome to BPN, Mital! Very nice first post, I like the pose, details and angle. I wish the head were angled more toward you and would give it more space at the top. Since it is full frame, you could add canvas in PS. You could also tone down the whites on the bird's chest a little. Keep them coming!
Thanks Axel i really appreciate the suggestion you have made and i agree on the chest part but as this was uploaded direct from site i thought it could be good to get suggestions first and then make changes.
Welcome Mital. This is pin sharp, and apart from the white of the neck, you have exposed the colours very well. I like the light on the eye, and a better head turn towards you would have been great. I agree to clone out the roots at the bottom.
Welcome, Mital. Congratulations on your first image post. I think all the important points have been made. Looking forward to more of this bird with a little less focal length. Sounds like a great opportunity getting so close to a kingfisher as mostly they are quite skittish.
thanks all for your good suggestions and i would sure look forward to learn more and more and improve as i found this is the only forum to get good suggestions and critique to learn.
