    Standing in Chaos

    Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

    It is a blend of 2 images i.e a slow shutter for motion and a higher shutter for the sharp duck. It is my first attempt to shoot birds. Though i don't have a long zoom lens but managed to shoot with my 90mm prime lens.

    Thank You.

    It's a nice idea, Raj, but the birds appear too randomly and in disorderly chaos. I have never tried your technique, but I would keep trying until I found a more tranquil version where my eyes could rest somewhere and my brain could make sense of what is in the image.

    Thanks for your kind review. Will surely work more to make an ordered chaos in my next shoot.

    Excellent start to bird photography and an excellent shot. But... it makes no sense. The large duck is clearly moving but he is tack sharp whereas the others are not. I think being artistic is fine but there is still a need to stick to some reality.

    Other than that, do go down to the same or similar level as the target for a bit better perspective.

    Happy birding - you just landed yourself into a big mess....

    Thought about it...I think that it's a viable concept but poorly carried out.
    You need to reshoot while experimenting with different shutter speeds on the OOF birds, shoot in the same FOV (makes blending easier).

    Thank you for your kind review. Will surely try to shoot it again with different shutter speed and multiple shots. lol why mess?

    Thanks for your valuable review. I will surely work on it as suggested.
