Hi from the Critique Club!
My initial reaction to this was that I wasn't quite sure if the bird is dead or not!
Those eggs are a wonderful green, especially against the red of that poor chick. The oranges and browns of the branches and nest are also really nice.
I can see why you left that wonderful twisted branch in the image, it has lovely colour, texture and shape, but as one of the other voters stated, it distracts the eye a little from the nest which is the main focus.
The focus also seems to be sharper on the branch that the eggs and chick, so a smaller aperture or moving in much closer would fix that. It would also emphasize the snow more, which is a more essential part of the story here, than the branch.
This is one of those scenes that we rarely come across, well done for capturing it! |
