| I think the ducks are a little too small in the frame for my preference. They look like they have a fair amount of detail to them, though. What would a closer crop look like? |

The NI did create a sort of dreamy effect, assisted by the light and the palette. Depending on the type of challenge and the particular voter that dreaminess would work well or not ;-) I kind of like it, although I would like to see a bit of detail in the eye area.
I might play with different crops but there's nothing that bothers me about this one. Looking out of the frame makes me wonder what was over there, but that's not a bad thing. |

All I would change to this is to try a solid black border. I really like this.

| i like the positioning of the ducks (and their reflections) and they seem to both have their attention focused on the same thing. i think their heads look a little oversharp, though. the frame is hard to see and i wish it just wasn't there, but i love the colours of the water. |

Really nice. The softness works in this case...you could mask off the NI effects on the birds with a little PS work. Good symetry in your models, great colors and tone.
Well done! |

Things I like:
--The way the birds have their heads positioned identically
--Composition
--Ripples
Things I might change:
--Border line is just a tad too subtle, would choose a color that makes it stand out just a bit more
--Like what NI did to the water, but the birds seem a bit too soft. Never used NI, can it work on selective areas? If not, PS will allow selective noise reduction.
--Some people would argue that the birds should be in the lower right corner, that way they are looking into rather than out of the picture.
BTW, these are Canadian geese, not ducks. :-)
Hope this helps. |
