Photograph....

This was my entry in the latest challenge to complete, Flight, at dpchallenge. It didn't finish in the top 50% and I can see a number of things I'd do differently. (Some are after the comments, some were those 'ack! wait let me fix it!' moments that hit as soon as it's too late to do so....)


Flocking around the bridge

If you want to see some really nifty photos, click here to see the results of the challenge, starting with the top places. It was a pretty impressive challenge as far as quality of submissions - it's generally good, but a larger percentage than normal were really wowing me. :)

Update: I created a modified version of this image from the original photo. I don't like it either, but it does have different weaknesses, anyway....


Flocking without the bridge....

I like the way the birds look, but the bridge is tricky. I wish there were either a lot more of it, or a lot less. Does that make sense? Anyway, keep working! I think you're getting some really nice shots, and you'll hit jackpot sometime soon. I once spoke to a friend, the father of a student of mine, who had several photographic exhibitions in Tokyo. We were looking at a book of his photos of the New York subway system, about 35 of them, his "best". I asked about how many he'd taken initially, and he smiled. 500 rolls of 36 shots apiece. (!) So, the point of this little anecdote is to hang in there! I know you can do it! ^-^;;
