Hello from the critique club

A great action shot that contributes to the open challenge well

What a great shot Ronnie, you have every right to be well proud of this cracking action shot. The focus is perfect the eyes and minnow are the most important aspects and they are nicely captured. I like the shape of his wings in the background and the disturbance on the water as he takes off. All that against the soft focus backdrop is a delight. What a great combination your canoe, lens and a patient, proficient you, keep ‘em coming Ronnie…

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

Do they really stretch out upside down then? The image itself is up to your normal high standards Ronnie and no less amazing what you can do with your kit hand-held a credit to you. As far as the challenge is concerned there is not much else you could have done with but inevitably in terms of this challenge you were always going to be up against it so your score might not be as high as you wished for but nevertheless still respectable.
