25 Apr 17 Reply Thanks. For me it was good, but some club members were upset because it was not a criteria he used until he was running out of time and was trying to eliminate a lot of photos quickly. I personally do not find it a good criteria because there an many situations it is not possible to get a head on shot or a shot from a different angle would tell the story better. Apr 23rd
25 Apr 17 Reply Thanks. Just as a note, my camera club competition this month was people at work. The judge awarded it a 2nd place in the advanced category primarily because he could see her face. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment Great shot and going to B&W is definitely a plus. The line along the back is a distraction. I also like the catchlight in the eye. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment A great action shot. The bird/fish are sharp and the bird's eye is tack sharp. My only suggestion is what Darin suggested, add a vignette to darken the background a little. Based on the comments on the shadow of the fish on the bird I think you may have a second photo here. See thumbnail. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment For a shot in harsh light this is a really good job. To bad you could not have gotten this shot in the early morning or late afternoon. The only thing I would do is crop some off the bottom and left side to enhance the prominence outcroppings. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment I think you are close to a really good photo. I would have moved a step or to the right to make the fence more of a leading line, and several steps forward to eliminate the dead bush in the bottom right corner. I then would crop some more to make it all about the fence and the flowers. The thumbnail shows the without moving the camera, but you get the idea. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment I agree with the other comments so will not repeat them.To me this should look like a pano shot. Shooting with the horizon line in the bottom quarter, with a wider lens. The D7000 is a crop sensor so a wider lens would begin to achieve the pano effect. The cropping out some of the top sky would increase the pano effect. Very good first start. Apr 22nd
25 Apr 17 Comment I like your objective of cropping the flower to focus the eye on the colors rather than the flower itself. This is a good flower to try this. I would crop in much tighter to focus even more on the flower (see thumbnail). I imported into Lightroom and on my 27 inch screen nothing look in focus. What focusing setting were you using? I think Vincent's suggestion that this should be focus stacked is something worth trying. Apr 22nd
