Mike and Dan, I'll work on those shadows a bit. but I screwed up on that shoot and had the camera in SMALL JPEG! (I had just shot some pics for some stuff I was selling and forgot to reset it to RAW). Boy, was I pi***d when I got home and saw that. Anyway, I'll give it a try.
Dan, I also thought they were a bit too centered. Which way should they be moved. Do I want more space in front of the bird, to fly/move into, or behind it. And how about vertical location? What about the ducklings, where there's nothing but h20?
The others have made some great suggestions. To answer part of your questions, on the comp you want to leave more room in front of the bird, space for them to look into/swim into. On the first duckling, crop some off of the bottom and the right. Just mess around with it and see what you like.
Great series...nicely done! I agree about a little cropping for image placement. On 1,2,4,6 and 7 I would crop a little off the top and the right side. Just MHO! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ant. I really like RR once I found it. I heard about it at a seminar and tried it out. Easy to get to and lots of variety. And you can get really close to the birds, too. Let me know when you want to go!
