family picnic

Thank you for your critique.

I love "Family Picnic"

I like the soft colors and detail of the birds and the grass!

A beautiful place to have a picnic :)

Best Regards,

This subject has a lot of potential but unfortunately I don't think you hit many of the marks that separate a snapshot from a great photograph. The mother goose being on guard over her goslings could have been more impactful with either a tighter crop, a longer lens or more light. There is an overall flatness and lack of texture and detail that says snapshot. The grass, the reeds, the leaves, the water, the feathers are all flat with very little dynamic range. I know you had to work with the light that you had, but when the result is so flat it's hardly worth sharing. Sorry for being so blunt but I'm sure you want honest critique. Keep at it because you have a good eye for composition.
