[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 58320, member: 3571"] [B]9/12[/B] [B]-1 Creativity[/B] [B]-1 Composition[/B] [B]-1 Technique [/B] [B]Creativity[/B] = Though i like the moment that was captured, It's a bird with a worm. A robin none the less. Not much that is creative there. I also understand it was a quick snapshot, and was not intended for "creativity". [B]Composition[/B] = It is close, though the rule of thirds would have played better here in my opinion. The subject is a bit too far to the right, and a bit too low, leaving an undesired amount of negative space on the left of the frame. [B]Technique[/B] = First, it's a bit over exposed and it could use a bit more contrast. it looks pretty sharp for 300mm at 1/80th. Try to remember as a general rule, your shutter speed should be equal or greater than your focal length. You should have been at 1/320th here. This is where shooting in manual would benefit. 1/320th and ISO around 400 should have got you close. dont be afraid do raise the ISO to get faster shutter speeds. especially on the 7000. On a side note, shooting in RAW and using lightroom could have easily saved this pic and turned it into something much stronger. I wont fault you for not post processing it, as it is not everyones cup of tea. editing and cropping now, will only deteriorate the image. Also, despite what other members say, do NOT crop this into a vertical. just crop it a bit so the thirds take play. [/QUOTE]
