I will add that the egret series was shot from a moving waterboat in the Florida marshes. It was moving to the left as the bird was moving right. Not much chance to think about background. ߘ


cheers, Paul

So it is a composite? You should check in the competition rules that composite images are allowed.


Cheers, Damien

The first two arent prize winners. The composite, as well done as it is, is a form of trickery that may not appeal to the judges. So you are left with the bike shot.

Based on comments, here is the latest edit - removed a bird, blurred background a bit and removed a bot of flotsam

As a former judge in photo competitions I would urge you not to artificially blur the background.

I would prefer a slightly wider crop than has been posted - slightly tighter than the original (19x9 or 2.33:1) but I would like to see a bit more of the environment and a slight amount of sky.


Hockey and wedding photographer. Favourite camera / lens combos: a 1DX II with a Tamron 45 1.8 VC, an A7Rii with a Canon 24-70F2.8L II, and a 5DSR with a Tamron 85 1.8 VC. Every lens I own I strongly recommend [Canon (35Lii, 100L Macro, 24-70F2.8ii, 70-200F2.8ii, 100-400Lii), Tamron (45 1.8, 85 1.8), Sigma 24-105]. If there are better lenses out there let me know because I haven't found them.

Somehow the blue of the water has come out very strongly in yur last - a bit too strong IMHO.
