Beginner Few more from Newbie outings

[AliceinWonderland]

Hey all,

So once again I have been out shooting and practicing! These are just a few to try show different techniques/styles... once again constructive criticism welcome!

They are screenshots off of my phone, as images are large and off my dropbox for the time being.

Someone must have something to say

Need to see the original shots, rather than screenshots from a phone.

As presented, all out of Focus.

just had cance to look,
pic 1. try a letterbox crop taking out most the sky, and leaving most the water , TBH theres not enough interest in the sky , but its all you had to work with
pic 3. very nice image
pic 5. the bird is a bit close to the right of the frame , if you have more to work with bring the bird more to the left of the frame, to give bird somewhere to look.

theses are personal opinions , its your thoughts that matter , also I wasn't there when the images where taken,, so I cant know what else was around the shot

 

[AliceinWonderland]

Thank you all. Very hard to shoot a bird while it's in your hand, before it files off.

 

[steve_lyt]

I realise that and you did a good job getting the images you got , well done

Unless it is a deliberate close-up you need all of your subject in the frame. In both your bird shots you have cut the feet and tail off. As a general rule, if the subject is looking or moving to the left and vice versa, you need more space in the shot to the left, or right as the case may be.
Agree that a letterbox crop would help number 1. Nice light though.
Number 2 - not much going on.
number4- interesting shot.

One tip I can give , is that shots like the robins if you can take more area around the subject, you can always crop it later
