Nature didn't need us to create this...

Hey there! I mind miss posting my photos here!
This is a tribute to the nature's "magics hands" and to it's wonders.
My photies were all taken when I went to England.
These one in the Hyde Park, London!:D

I know that some picture are distorted or/and blurry but I post them here as well so that you can appreciate them!

Hope you enjoy them!

Shauni
















I have more to come but I had to post them in different post or there would be too much...
I hope you enjoy them, again, and earn a bit more curiosity for the nest ones!

Hello! I'm Colt...gosh, it's been so long since I reviewed anything...wow.

First, I must say good job. The angles and proportions are pretty good. It's not that blurry.

Second, Photoshop can really help those blurs...there are sharpen and blur tools there, you know. I don't know about any other Photo Editing software. You could try GIMP (it's free), it might have a sharpen tool.

The Pictures
1. I love how you captured the little ripples the water made with the movement.
2. I love how you took of picture of it leaving into the water. Very interesting!
3. The background is annoyingly blurry.
4. Not as bad as the previous picture with the blurriness.

Good job, I look forward to seeing more work. Nice title, by the way.

Shauni! It's Juniper here .

Wow, these photos are brilliant. It's so hard to take pictures of waterfowl over here (unless they're mallards; but that's probably because our birds are impatient?). Anyway, let's see.


• Number one -

The composition of this is brilliant. I love the contrast between the water and the swan. It would have been nice if we could see just a little bit more of their eye-- but I understand that that would have been extremely difficult. Either way, brilliant shot. Not too fuzzy either, so great job on that.

• Number two -

This one looks like it should be on a postcard or something! It's very, very beautiful. The feathers are a bit over exposed/ washed out, but, that's okay, seeing as it's tricky to capture white feathers perfectly. =P


• Number three -


I love this one! It's adorable, and it's such a perfect shot. Is this a heron? I'm especially bad with names of animals.


Lastly!

• Number four -

This bird is so cute. It looks like it's saying "What are you looking at?". Very cute, haha. Nice capture with this one. =P



Keep up the wonderful work, Shauni! You're really good at this!


Juniper

I love the third picture. How the clearness of the bird contrasts against the blurred background. It look to be watching something and the stillness of it is capture in the photograph which is amazing.

On the seconf photo I can't help but feel it had been cropped. I'd like to see more of the water to the left of the swan. I think it'll may it seem like to birds got as much freedom as it wants.

Thanks all for the reviews!

Colt, the blurriness you talk about was taken on purpose. It can be a bit distracting but it also pushes our sight to the bird.

Juniper! Bird names aren't with me. I just know them on my main language but in the third and fourth photo, the bird is the same.

PinguN18 Yup, the photo was cropped because I wanted to focus the eye on the swan.

Thanks again!

Hey Shauni!

1 - This one is blurry as you probably know by your introduction xD I like the angle you got on it thought and how you can see the shape of it's wings but the blurriness kind of ruins it.

2 - This one is good! It's in focus and I like the light on it's neck and the water coming out of it's beak. It's really nicely focus around it's head and neck. The back end of the swan is a bit too bright white I think and also there is no light in it's eye. I like animal photos where they appear to have this light in their eye. It kind of gives them more life. Good shot thought!

3 - This one is awesome! How did you get that close to a Heron? lol I love the detail and the focus of this photo and how the eye looks, you have a light there and it's just cool haha Well done.

4 - I think the angle on this photo and where they shadow ends up lying ruins this photo slightly. You miss all the details of the face that you had in the previous photo. It's a shame because it's a good shot.

I look forward to seeing more of your photos!

Hiya!

First pic: I find it would have been a bit better had the swan taken either more or less of the frame. Right now we have a band of water that's a bit wide on the top and right side. I like it when boarders are even around the subject, unless it's for effect. Right now the bands are too small for there to be an effect. ^_^

Second pic: I'm amazed that you caught the exact moment when there was a bubble of water under the swan's bill. The swan itself is a bit overexposed, meaning things are too white, but the pose is very good.

Third pic: It makes me laugh, with the look on his face. I find the crane could be a bit more centered, but not much else to be said.

Fourth pic: With the flowers in the background and such a thin focus, I'm not too fond of this picture. There's a bit too much going on.

Overall: You have an eye for catching birds at some very prime times! Nice work.

Questions? PM me.

I'm just going to say:

SQUEE! I wanna hug the swan!!! XD
Oh, and great job, Shauni ^^

~Have a great day!
Meep(:

The picture was amazing on how close you could get up to the birds. Try it in black and white is gives a different type of style. Also I liked the way you captured something really rare at a very rare moment. I gives the sense of style of photography you like.
