IzadoraComment by Silver Fox: Ducks Under Bridge
Hi Rachel,
Critique by Silver Fox.
Your composition is quite good here with good depth of field and a good idea for the Challenge.
The Visual impact is pleasant to the eyes of the beholder when looking at your picture. The rushing water heading towards the bridge gives
the ducks motion as they keep themselves heading upstream..
Focus is quite good, and the lighting seems fine for a daylight shot.
Your choice of Color seems okay, sepia tone appears just right, wonder what this would have looked like in colour.
The addition of the ivy hanging from the bridge gives the photograph something more to look at, however, because the theme of Challenge was âBridgesâ you may have been better to back up about 10 feet and given us a better view of the bridge instead of concentrating so much on the three ducks. They would still have been in the photograph, but not have been the âmainâ subject.
The bridge looks like it has some beauty to the ârailsâ and it would have been nice to see more of them.
Now when you cropped your photograph, what happened to the bottom right hand side, what is that white washed out piece? Could you not have taken that out? Or is that why you had to come so close with your camera and lens to start with?
Overall, you've taken a nice photograph to be proud of and you've done a nice job of it too.With a little practice, you'll be pulling out 10's in no time.
I noticed that youâve just joined the DP Challenge, so donât take this critique personally.
Itâs only your first entry. Take some time and look at the other photos in the Galleries, and then shoot some more and some more and I would enjoy seeing some more of your work next week and the week after that too.
And remember to have some fun while you learn. . .
Sincerely,
Ed
