Hello from the critique club !

Looking at this picture, I can't decide what your subject was? I believe its the ducks, but the emphasis is on the fence which is much brighter and attracts all attention. the ducks on the other hand are in shadow, the heads not showing, and no detail that I can see.

On the topic of Ansel Adams, this is not what his technique was about. He rather had emphasis on the subject and tried to make the surroundings divert attention to the main subject in different ways. the photograph should have more details and a range of tones.

On your submission, I think you can use some USM ( sharpening ) to bring a little more detail as the image resizing covers up the details.

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

thanks,
Gaurawa

I don't begrudge you your limited scenery, but I think Ansel would've tried to find a less prohibitive angle to shoot from. The background isn't very compelling here, scenery aside.

I think it's a pity that we cannot see the heads.
