Could have been good, but it is definetely oversharpened and too noisy. I like the composition though.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Catherine,

It's a long time since I watched The Bridges of Madison County. If my memory stirs correctly I was too young at the time to properly appreciate it.

There is nothing technically wrong with your shot so I think it would be useful to focus on what is holding it back. There are two major areas that might help: composition and light quality. Regarding composition - the lines of the main subject to not draw my attention in nor hold my eye, instead the stretch horizintal across image. Regarding the light quality - I think this was taken sometime in the middle of the day as the light seems flat and as a result the image lacks depth. I recommend the following articles on the Ron Bigelow website for each of these issues:

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

when you shoot birds, a long telephoto with a hood really helps

Nice snapshot for the photo album. Colours seems a touch flat for my taste.

Should have filtered out the noise and sharpened edges (6)

Nice capture. I love the colors. The grainy look is a bit distracting and you probably should crop off the left side a little more to remove the spot in the corner.
