| I wish the s-curve was a stronger element in the composition. |

| I think if you could have moved a little to the right, the composition would have been improved. The tree behind the bill is not so good, IMO. Also a shallower DOF might improve the background. Nice feather detail though. |

Not trying to be mean here but as part of the purpose of this site is to learn, teach and become better photographers, I wanted to make mention of the point of the challenge.
An S-Curve is a compositional tool, like the rule of thirds or leading lines, that helps in making the image stronger. Normally, the S-Curve is to lead the viewer's eye through the image or to the subject. I've noticed a lot of submissions that simply include an S shape somewhere in the image but this misses the point.
If used properly, the S-Curve is a very powerful compositional tool. While your shot is nice, the "S" that you've included is really just an element and doesn't really lead the viewer's eye.
I do hope you'll take this as I mean it. I certainly don't mean to criticize your image. |
