This is a fine, exquisitely-detailed image with excellent colors and technique. My fellow commenters have pointed out that cropping simplifies the composition so that it is easier to understand what is going on. I prefer their method, but there is another way to overcome the problem of where the viewer's eye might settle down. I picked out by slightly darkening everything else the person in the white shirt near the center and made him brighter, thus more attracting to the eye.

This is a very good story-telling image. I have to agree that Arun's crop, though I might go further and take out the two X trees on the left as well. Your image illustrates a major advantage of monochrome treatment over color in many situations: color in this case woulod have added nothing except busy-ness and distraction!

This is well-captured action! Your technique is right on. It is true that being a bit closer or using a longer focal length lens would have made the bird taking off more prominent, but there is a good nature story there nevertheless. The major problem that I see is that the entire top half of the picture, above the light brown on the far bank, doesn't have anything to do with your subject. Cropping at that point and at the bottom to leave a little bit of the foreground brass would emphasize the action. If it were mine, I would probably crop crop out the bottom half of the foreground grass as well.

......and I do like your thin border; this one really unifies the presentation, especially against a black background. Without it, the image would just bleed off into nothingness! |

I would take off the small branch that mingles with the girl's hair; doing that will give her more emphasis. |

I agree with everything that the other commenters have said, and that it is a very interesting scene. But I have to point out that the light, color, and placement of the the doorway and archway in the image constitute a divided subject that draws my eye back and forth between the two, and suspect that there might be a more adventurous camera placement, say, close to the floor for example, that might make it less static. |
