Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hello! This is a great shot in the idea and it certainly meets the challenge, you don't get a much odder coupling that this! LOL!
As you already saw in the challenge comments, it looks underexposed, reading your notes you were going for that look of an evening or early morning shot. On my screen it didnt' quite come off that way and it just looks like if you had added a touch more contrast it might have worked. But also there appears to be a halo around the larger bird's head and it's so bright compared to the rest of the shot it tends to be a bit distracting in the end. I think this shot would have done much better if it was a bit brighter, adding a sense of sharpness and clarity to it. Right not it tends to look a bit muddy.
And the building in the reflection of the water, another distraction to me personally. If you could have changed your angle so the building was not being reflected perhaps? The overall composition is well done if you could just change the direction of the shot so you have a clear background or clone the building out. I don't think that would have counted as a major element myself but then I'm not on Site Council either, LOL :)
Again, great shot, love your animal shots in your profile! Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges!

| There's realy nice light in this image. It's subtle but very effective. I suspect it's not been fully appreciated |

| I NEVER say this to people, because I remember clearly how much it annoyed me when I was into direct-from-camera shots, but a bit more post-processing would have made a big difference in the aesthetics in this shot, in my opinion. Still, quite well-composed, and a cute idea that meets the challenge. Scores highly in my book -- after all, this is a photography contest and not a photoshop contest. :) |
