The hand of a Master Falconer
by MacDonald

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
powerful bird .. not enough of the hand for a photo which is titled hand of the falconer.

Composition:
This is nicely done, but would benefit from including slightly more of the hands in the picture ... it seems a little cut off at the wrist.

Subject:
Lovely and meets the challenge .. no animal did great in this challenge .. people seemed to want to see people.

Technical (Colour and light):
The hand is rather red .. but desating more may have killed the image itself ... it is a crisp and focused picture.

To grow its vote?:
Put in a person . .sorry but sometimes you got to play for what is asked.

Summary:
Great work .. you have a lovely portfolio .. if not deadly to small furry things :)

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

A beautiful photo of a beautiful animal. Well done! Some small catchlights to add a bit of life to the eyes might make it even better.


There are some light reflections, at least in the one eye. Maybe a little sharpening would bring that out more. Anyway, just a thought.
