Being straight from the camera, and being a 30d, I will make most of my comments based on this. Your DOF was dead on, you have thrown both the foreground and background out of focus, making the sparrow in the attention. IMO, you will need to crop this so the post in the forground doesnt compete for attention, as well as burning the lighter colored wood in the background.
The sparrows feathers are nice and detailed, I really like that you have all of the sparrow in the frame. If it is possible, you my want to tune the whites just a tad on the bird especially under the chin, not blown out but definately higher key than avg white. I do like the fence post that creats the diagonal into the photo. It really gives a good amount of depth to it. |
