Greetings from the Critique Club!
Cute shot of a painted turtle, I try to help them across the road whenever I see one making its determined waddle across the blacktop. They don't try to dismember you like a snapper will!!
Problem is, this shot has a very snapshot feel to it. Glad to see from the POV that you got down low to get the shot, but dare I suggest you try to get even lower, to give the turtle more size and dramatic impact, especially with all those ready-made leading lines on it :-) Lighting is OK but going by the shadows looks like midday sun; the hours between 11 and 3 mean pretty strong light, so it's best to shoot before or after to get better light. Or be ready to use a flash, reflector etc. The centred comp is just not engaging enough to make the viewer stop and look.
Overall though I do think you have the right idea, it just needs some work.
Feel free to PM me,
Susan |
