7 - Met the Challenge - If I could not see the handler and they did not look like this was their 'trade' then the jury would still be out, but this is a 'pass' in my books. Criticism; it is an excellent photo of the eagle, but for this Challenge, in my opinion, that should not be where the 'focus' is. Final side note on that, the talons look great, especially against that lovely grain. As I say though, in MY opinion, this Challenge is not about (in this case) the bird, it is about the 'tools', which you have captured. I would like to have seen more focus on the tools, more detail. Had this at 6 but on closer inspection/scrutiny, up to 7. If the 'tools' were 'main focus', 8. Maybe in this instance, for this Challenge, those talons and the 'tools' by themselves - that would have made a superb photo. |
