Hey again, time to share this days catch And finally a big bow Hopefully you'll enjoy these pictures and C&C is also much appreciated. Darkened
out of these, I really like #3 - but I would like some lightening of the duck itself. I think the colors make for a great composition, but your subject is getting lost in there. That green head should be adding to the overall brightness and instead I feel like it is almost as dark as the troughs of the water. Hope that helps! The rest I like, but none really speak to me - technically fairly well done, but I look at it and go "oh, ducky. Moving on."
I quite like #1. I think the background manages to be very interesting without being busy enough to draw attention away from the duck, and the tiny details in the feathers really come through.
very good shots. i particularly like #4, the colors of the duck feathers and the reflections in the water combined with the warps in the water make the picture very harmonic. the only thing i dont like about these shots is the framing choise and to be more specific the colored frame element. i think in all the pictures it's too contrasty and strong and draws attention from the picture itself. the colors are fine but i think you should pick a more subtle shade of color for that purpose all in all a very good job, i'd like to know the gear specs used in this session, particularly the lens
@ssR Thanks for your comments about the borders, still learning my way trough them. When I get the time, I'll re-do them and see what I can come up with. As for the equipment, all these were shot freehand with an Olympus E-520 and the 70-300 (140-600mm equiv.) lens. To everyone else, thanks for your input and comments, keep them coming. Darkened
