On the Lookout

comments most welcome (good or bad)

Nice overall, but the sky seems unremarkable to include so much of it over the bird's head. Since you're shooting from below the bird, cropping some of the top could give the bird a more majestic stature, perhaps.

Thanks Lisa, I had thought to crop it and agree with the exposure being brought down. Actually I had brought it up but shouldn't have. Would it have been better to have shown more of the sunset color in the bottom of image? (too late now anyway as this was the original capture)

Yes, including more of the post as well as any sunset color towards the bottom would have been another nice shot. The glowing color from the lamp would have been a nice balance between the two sets of colors, with the bird perched above it all.

 

Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your photos. :-)
