Waiting Game

Image Title: Waiting Game
Pentaxian: Sandinista
Human Name: Jim

• Composition
Very nicely framed to allow foreground to work well in promoting the subject and given great atmosphere

• Background
Detail is a little bit lost on this image – maybe by the B+W conversion

• Technical
Judging by the feel of the shot and time of year – spot on

• Craftsmanship
Nicely chosen vantage point and image treated with care

• Personal feelings
I really, really like this shot but something just wasn’t right to me, so I had to have a play. Jim, try dodging the underside of the bridge and burning the tree areas next to it. I think it turns a great shot into an absolute one (IMHO) Really like this one Jim, well done (love the ducks!)

Hi John, I will give it a try and post a link to it. Haven't done much dodging and burning yet but it will be good practice.

Tried the dodge and burn John, be interested to see what you think.

Hi Jim,

Posted link to the one I "Played with"

A bit rushed and heavy handed. You may like or not.

All the best

John

That works very well John, in fact it transforms the shot
