Although we post in the gallery it does not help us improve other than admiring other peoples work.I am only a novice myself but see many shots in the gallery that could be vastly improved with something simple like a different crop or a quick processing fix. The gallery is not the place to offer critique so how does one improve.Offering and reading other peoples critique is a very good way to learn yourself. To start the ball rolling I will put up this shot I took from yesterday. I can see several things that I am not happy with in this shot - what do you think? Is the bird too big or too small in the frame?. Is the BG pleasing or overpowering ?. How about noise and detail, what about the exposure or light levels. Is it sharp enough, there is so much to consider. What do you like and dislike about this image?</blockquote>
