Very nice taken...
...sometime I feel that when commenting other people pic, pls try to understand the situation when & how the photo was taken...especially on nature or wildlife...they are not paid models posed according to your requirement...no offence pls...just a gentle reminder...
I think it is ok to give comments in this forum as long as it is not personal attack or damaging. I am sure raptor84 do not mean any harm but was giving his honest opinion which everyone of us in this forum are entitled to.
In my opinion, I can see different interpretation and style in nature photography and to each his/her own, there are no which is better or worse.
If you look at especially the US naturephoto sites, they prefer clear background and less clutter leaves. Whereas if you look at the various Nature society or birding sites the are many photos of birds in their environment and behavior action, mostly not on the cleanest background. Both have its beauty and also brings out the beauty of nature in its own ways. Whichever style it is important for the photog to know what he is shooting and what he wants to bring out. If the photog is able to bring out what he intends to show then he is successful and the pics will show it, (of course the basic photography technique and technical competency are important).
In this instant Jason has brought up the behavior of the Asian Koel well and that's in itself is a great series.
If a photog do not know or do not have the faintest idea of what he intends to show but just shot then the picture is just a snapshot that's all.
One a personal note, though I prefer clean background I still do appreciate the beauty of such action and documentary shots - is there such a thing call nature journalistic shot??? :think: kekeke :bsmilie:
Well the weekend is coming, time to prepare your stuff for another weekend of great outdoor
Cheers
