| Beautiful animal...falcon yes?? I like that you have captured this bird of prey without the hood on so that we get to see the eyes. Nice focus that shows off the details in the feathers and coloration. This is a good shot but it has the potential to be even better. First I do like that you captured it in an outdoor element with the handler holding it. But the environment could have been brought in to add more visual interest. The inclusion of the ground plane that composes 70% of the composition 'visually' grounds the bird. What I mean by that is that had the photo been taken at a lower angle such that the sky makes up more of the backdrop it would compliment the bird more by making a visual connection to it's natural element. Not only that but the colors of the bird would contrast and pop more visually off of a background with some same color hues that compete with the subject's coloration. Now your sky here is a flat white and grey so you might have wanted to avoid that because it was not visually interesting. However, could you have photographed it later in the day or even another day where there might be more interesting sky patterns? If the opportunity was available then always try to take advantage of the best possible settings. Lastly, the eye of the beautiful bird could use a bit of catchlights to add some depth and gleam to the eye. Could you have changed your angle such that the sunlight reflected in the bird's eyes or possibly have used fill flash to hopefully add a gleam to the eye (of course, you would only do this if the falcon/hawk would not react violently to the use of flash or be startled). |
