peacock

Hi ya Joey,

There are a few thing i think that would have made this much better.

1st. This is overexposed, although shot on I think from what I can gather, negative film, the whites are to bright. The problem is if you try to print with detail in the white the dark areas will be pure black. So I would have spot metered this, if your camera will do that and metered the white area and opened up 1.5 stops, then used a little fill flash for the dark areas.

2nd. The placement of the bird. If you look back at my eagle shot you will notice that the eye is slightly above the middle of the shot and this is where you want the eye of the subject, above the middle. This one is below and to the left and with the bird looking down it leads the lookers eye back out of the photo. This would have worked though as a vertical and the eye in the top third of the photo, leaving more room on the left for the bird to look into, if you get what i'm saying.

I hope this doesn't sound to harsh and helps in some way
