"Black & White," On The Rocks

Comment by cghubbell:
The rocks are overexposed - looses the detail and texture. The birds are underexposed, also loosing detail. It's a nice composition otherwise.

You could have cropped even tighter - I'd say right below the handle. The green leaves form an amazing frame. You can then have a choice of whether to focus on the can, or on the leaves, and nobody will complain. In this picture, everybody knew what your subject was (can) and commented on its focus. In a more tightly cropped pic, it wouldn't matter as much anymore, since it wouldn't be so big. Good job.

Comment by Tallbloke:
Very very difficult subject against those light rocks...The whole photographs feels overexposed and the birds suffer from lack of detail.

Improvements that I would like to see...UV lens. This is way too bright/fried from the bright sunshine. Needs some more contrast. Also I think a tighter crop since it's just rocks repeated. Best of luck in the challenge.

I like the photo... a little to busy for me though.

It's a bit out of focus - it looks like the grass in front is the focal point

Great composition and colors. Focus is not real interesting though.
