Mallard shots - Colors

[NikonUser]

I decided to go out and screw around with colors a bit. Here is what I got, what do you think ? Please tell me any think I can improve on!

since you asked

I like the composition on all the shots. I think you did a good job of getting the eyes sharp and that's not easy! Two things for me- the colour seems overdone on my monitor and the crop is a bit tight.

Hey, Nikonuser. It's really hard to critique multiple images at once so it's a good idea to post one at a time for critique. I'll give you a quick run down from my point of view.

First off, for me, the logo is is very strong and very distracting. I understand why a lot of people feel the need to put it on their images but honestly, I just don't like them. If you are going to use them, I would suggest trying to make them a little more invisible.

I'm not sure, maybe someone else can chime in, but all the images look a little over-sharpened to me.

I prefer the composition in number two where both ducks are looking in the same direction instead of number one where we are looking at the back of the ducks head.

Chopping off body parts in number 3 is very distracting where we only see half of the head of the foreground duck.

Number 4's background is very busy so the subject doesn't stand out very much and the crop is a bit tight, I'd like to see more room around his body.

Hope this helps!

Yes, the third picture, it was taken with only half the head showing, They are very speedy animals! Thank you for the critique every one ! I will try to set my sharpness down a bit.

I think they are a little too oversaturated for my taste.

Yes, I agree with asnow
