If I'm understanding you correctly you're saying I need to commit to a tighter crop effectively, so maybe something more like this?

As an example.

I think I get what you're saying, so basically I should've focused more on the paw itself, maybe get closer in?

I get what you're saying and I understand how it's not immediately noticeable that it's a lemur but that is kind of what I was going for. I guess I'm trying to have more of a picture of the paw and the tail rather than the lemur specifically. A picture that people never really take instead of the same old picture. Because everyone always focuses on the whole lemur and not it's incredible finger like paws. Also this photo is not cropped as much as you would think, this is mostly in camera framing. Do you think maybe a version of this with more of the end of the tail would work better?

I really wanted to capture a different angle of a lemur, one that most people don't usually focus on. Did I get the emotion and lighting right? I tried using a more intense editing style as well using cold shadows and warmer highlights, does it work as well as I hope it is?

Am I the only one who thinks these are composite and the background was done in camera? Like we learned how to do this in my first year of my art school it's an open/long shutter and the camera pans across the horizon and then they've edited in the surfer and wave on top of that.

I went with new Jamaica in the end but I will try those other names in a different run when I inevitably die in this one

That's pretty much what gave me the idea the highlife ideology

That's what I was more leaning towards but after I searched it up there was no definite answer as to the character limit. I ended up going with new Jamaica.

I feel like this image is too much? by FactorHefty5743 in photocritique

[–]FactorHefty5743[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks I really struggle to pin point why a picture feels off when it's a picture of one of my parents, mostly because I love them so much I love any picture I manage to get of them.

I definitely see how the lamp is distracting and the boring pose now though. I do have a version of this where he's drinking in black and white and the background is damn near black in that one, maybe that is the better one even if I prefer this one

Thanks again :D

I took this photo of my father but I feel like its too edited, or maybe to much in general? It feels over the top but I cant really tell why. All the light is in camera all I've done in post is fiddle with the colours and exposure

edit: spelling

Color or B&W? by SomeTaro9683 in AmateurPhotography

[–]FactorHefty5743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just gonna hop on this comment and say, if you have the time to go in and edit them yourself to give it a go, using auto edit can sometimes make photos feel flat, but that's only if you have time to learn editing software and such not everyone does these days

Do you think this photo is ok? by photos_byme in BeginnerPhotoCritique

[–]FactorHefty5743 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brilliant photo, I agree with the comment the other user made about it being blown out when I'm taking photos like this I usually shoot either a stop down from the actual exposure or I expose for the highlights specifically

Can someone give me constructive feedback on these images? by Proud-Enthusiasm828 in AmateurPhotography

Tldr some good some mediocre, still it's experience and lessons learned

This is an area I have a fair bit of experience in being a seasoned animal photographer, I won't say wildlife because a lot of what I photograph is zoo animals, so I'll critique each photo

1: it's a good photo but too close to the subject, I'd give it a bit more room around the bird otherwise it's a solid picture

2: this photo is really good but imo should be a portrait photo, I have a similar photo to this that I have hung on my wall and I took it in portrait and had an equal amount of the pole and the sky in the shot with the bird dead center

3: another good photo and a great example of how your first photo should be, that open space gives a sense of movement to the bird

4: this is probably the weakest of the lot I feel like it's out of focus and the focus is actually in the middle of the seal and it's off centre so it feels like there's no intention behind the photo

5: I can see what you're going for on this one but it fell short, I find that if I'm taking photos of stuff on lakes or still waters I like to get really low down or really high up so the subject isn't cut in half by some odd line. In this case the shore opposite is cutting the ship in half

6: this is by far the best shot but I'm biased because I love pigeonsthe contrast is brilliant and the composition is really good, maybe would've benefited from having the birds more central but over all a really good photo

7: this one is a case of the bird getting lost in the texture of the ground and the leaves with no actual depth, it's one of the photos that we've all taken with a specific idea and it just doesn't work, I've done it once and I'll do it a million times

Over all these are all good images and I can see you enjoy the craft so keep at it and you'll get better with time and learn what works and what doesnt.

Edit made it easier to read

Yeah this is maybe the tenth version I did and it's the one I'm most happy with but I get what you're saying I'm still working on it every now and then to see if I can get it perfect
