Title: Critique please - just starting
Post by: Kozlicek on June 25, 2013, 10:08

Hi, its my first time here so you will probably find many mistakes.
Image got rejected for technical quality
My guess is bad background, noise?

Depth of field too shallow, the coat of the bird goes out of focus too quickly. Also, the compostion is not great.

Trying not to be too harsh, just pointing out whats needed

This is one of mine, take a look:

The highlights in the background are distracting - your eyes are very quickly pulled away from the hen to the highlights.

There are many problems in this photo:

Tech....
Underexposed
DOF too shallow
Uneven light
Noise and grain
not sharp

composition...
 All elements in the frame does not support the main subject. ( background meaningless and the light spot draws attention from the hen.
the hen is cut in halves.
Perspective. Level yourself with the animal.

Out of focus and the background is distracting.

Keep trying, you'll get there!
