I would be interested to know if you think this image works.
I have tried to combine an "action" style image with an "environment" style image by having the bird carrying food shown within its environment. Giving the bird more space in the frame loses the initial impact, however the environment gives a sense of place.
Hi Austin, I like the flying posture with the forward wing position, and like the detail and exposure that you achieved. His catch a bonus, and I feel his enviroment doesnt distract at all. Well captured.
It works for me, I like the wing position, eye contact and the food item adds to it. The inclusion of the vegetation adds interest. I might try to get more details in the blacks.
