Default 4 more for C&C

I think im getting better at this :/


Didn't do anything special, to my i think the lighting in the background is a little bright, and I was actually balancing on two rocks above the river, so focus could of been better to


Shutterspeed: 1/100
Aperture: 8.0
ISO:1600
Exposure: 0
(just practicing making sure I'm reading my camera right LOL)

I think this is the best of the four, but probably could have better.


I know the twig in the foreground and the random ring on this could of been removed.

C&C on all please. i need to improve.

1) Lower your shutter and use a tripod to get that dreamy water flow effect, if that was what you were going for. Otherwise, nice.

2) You should have just kept the one bird-like thing in focus to make it look more interesting. The white stuff on your lens?

3) not much interest

4) Suffers from motion blur (I think) or just wrong focusing. what settings did you use?

You could also open up your aperture and (if available) increase zoom a little bit. You'll narrow your DoF and put the chicken wire more out of focus. Works even better if the peacock is a bit farther away (though there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of room for that =P)
