Thanks for the feedback. I’ll give the crop idea a try. I tend to spotlight the bird. Because of my newness in birding, I tend to put the bird front and center. I’ve gotten similar feedback on other photos. I’m learning.
Most of us do/did the same starting out. Over time we learn that the subject doesn't necessarily have to dominate the frame area to grab attention. Then again sometimes completely filling the frame with just a part of the subject works well. I recommend going and looking at plenty of other people's images and figuring out what you like/don't like about them and why. At the end of the day if you're not trying to sell your work what you like is what matters.
Good thoughts, good ideas, thanks. As a matter of fact, I think I am starting to be more aware of other peoples photos and perspectives. I am in the process of printing greeting cards to sell , so thanks again for the feedback.
Ahhh. Well that's different. Then what you like has nothing to do with it. Nor does the opinion of other amateur photographers. The market will certainly let you know. Hope your efforts are successful.
Thanks, just starting out with this endeavor. I’ll follow up with any results I get , success or not.
I didn’t do much w/ color. I did work on edits like shadows, exposure, clarity, luminance, etc. I do set it up for greeting card printing, so I want the bird to stand out , thus the crop.
