The Huntby
Travis99Comment by BAMartin: Composition: The composition on this shot is very strong. You have placed the subject in the best possible location and added bit of other interest (duck call, rifle, little bit of straw) to add visual appeal and to give a feel of place.
Colors:You have done a great job on the color palette you chose to use for this photograph. Its much visually appealing with a sepia feel than it would be in natural color.
Lighting:Your lighting is rather flat, but I suppose under the shooting conditions you did not have much option. At least you did not use on-camera flash :-)
Technical Quality: The subject of the photograph is a little out of focus and my eye tends to stray from him because of that. The overall feeling is a bit too soft for my taste. I am thinking that you might have used a slow shutter speed, If I am right, you might try increasing the ISO so that the available light will give you the chance for a faster shutter speed.
Meeting Challenge: I am not sure how well this meets the challenge, it definitely has that âset-upâ feeling. I think the subject was definitely aware that he was being shot (haha pun intended).
Border / Title: Your title is very appropriate, not too long and not cutsey. You have not used a border, which for this photograph is very appropriate.
Overall: Overall this is a very pleasing photograph, but one that may feel more at home in the family album.
