Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club
First Impression: My first thought when I saw this challenge was that its a free study with provided shoehorn (book title). This is a nice bright capture of the pelican taken at just the right moment. I like the small blown out areas of the water and their 'sparkle' though others might think it was oversharpened?
Composition: A strong composition with the Pelican landing into the image from top right with the right amount of foreground space for him to end up in.
Subject: Unless anybody made up a book title this was really a free study so yes, met the challenge well, obviuosly the title meant you had to use a Pelican but they are birds I've only ever seen at the zoo so thanks for showing it :)
Technical: For me this ended up at around the right sort of score, what stopped it from scoring a 6+ average was the detail in the bird, the black seem to lack detail and whilst there is detail in the white areas its a little blown in places. Was his beak that colour or should it have been more like his legs? I'm thinking this was taken in strong sunlight.
Final thoughts: A nice shot, met the challenge well with good stopped motion and interesting water. Sadly let down in the main by the harsh lighting imho. |
