Critique Club review:
Hi JC,
First, your shot fits the challenge well.
The photo is cropped nicely and the shapes of the leaf, feather and butterfly, I assume Black Swallowtail, wing fit the frame well. The colors appear to be true to what I know about the three subjects. DOF and sharpness are not a problem and are good.
The only problems I see, is the black background only modifies the feather and leaf. The veins of the wing, because they are also dark, are really lost. Not sure if a different color would have helped or arranging the three objects differently. Even though I like the three subjects, the feather, Blue Jay I assume, by itself would have really been nice. The soft blue colors, with the nice down, and the dark background would have made an excellent macro subject. You might try it if you didn't.
As a whole I liked your shot, but I think you probably see some of the negatives and how to improve a great idea. Good luck in the future.
Have a Fantastic 2004,
Van
