p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Variety from the lake

Was fortunate to have still waters and nice light this morning. Variety of subjects out on the lake. As always, I appreciate and encourage suggestions and constructive criticism

A nice set, Mitesh; it's a great feeling when the water is still and the light is sweet (as it was for you). If you had it to do all over again, the gulls and the mallard might benefit from a perspective that was a bit lower and looked as though the bird was coming towards you rather than away (which is always a challenge). The latter issue is also present in all of the cormie shots except the last one, which is fantastic!

Thanks for the comments, Greg! You're absolutely right in your observations. It is something that I will be aware of and try to correct next time out

The Cormies series is really fantastic, Mitesh. This has to do with the play of light and darks and with the special lighting adding some mood to the images.
Lovely colors in the 4th image. May be the first set of images could benefit from some toning down.
The images are all well captured and show some nice detail

Good looking set Mitesh. The corme IFs are nice, and I quite like those with the darker backgrounds. Lovely colors #1.

Very nice set, Mitesh. You had nice water surface to make your birds stand out. Great work.

Great set Mitesh ! I love the mallard, fantastic light and love the waters color. I love the blue heron with the reflection of the water on his wings . Would like to see a bit more room for him to fly into, but know that is not always possible

The last cormie shot is fantastic, great action and dramatic lighting.

Very nice work .

Great set. I like the first and the mallard for the backgrounds and I like seeing the big fish that it caught in 2 and 3. If you could have asked the cormi to turn 45degrees counterclockwise in the 8th that would have been great

Thanks for sharing

This is a great set, Mitesh.
Good light, exposure and colours, and thoughtful composition.
A few suggestions:

(1) Re perceived subject sharpness see my previous comment on the cormorant shots. (Did you use 800L here ?)
(2) I'd suggest a good compositional rule of thumb for BIF shots is to place the bird somewhere in the upper half of the frame, in addition to giving it sufficient headspace to fly into.
(3) You've got a good colour balance for the heron, I think it is just a wee bit overexposed, which is a rather common tendency.

I think you are doing very good, following a fine aesthetics path.

Very nice work Mitesh, you compositions look marvelous. Most of these give me a nice peaceful feeling making them a joy to take in. I would suggest giving the heron a bit more room, he looks rather cramped in that tight frame
