Need Honest Feedback On My Photos
Nov 11, 2011 14:46:21 #
Please at least reply to the below rating associated with these 3 photos. I would really appreciate your rating.
#1 Artistically and technically flawless
#2 High-quality photo yet could be better
#3 Overall good effort but in need of improvement
#4 Uninspired and uninteresting
#5 Seriously and irredeemably flawed
For those interested, I provided the below write-up for these photos plus the ones you can view on my website.
This past Wednesday morning I went down to Arnold's Butterfly Haven and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, which is located in Okeechobee, FL. During my visit there, I was able to interact with my 3 legged deer friend, and capture some images of him. He is one usual deer, because he is so friendly to people and other animals on the property. Sue, the person who runs Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, tells me stories about the 3 legged deer which are unbelievable. I wish that people could take lessons from my 3 legged deer friend on how to deal with life, because I find him very inspirational. While I was walking around the butterfly garden, I had the opportunity to photograph several different butterflies, flowers, and a Carolina Saddlebag dragonfly against a blue sky. Besides the 3 legged deer, the dragonfly was my favor photo.

For the Tech Geeks -
The photos of 3 legged deer were taken with my Nikon D300 camera and a Nikon 18-200mm lens. All lighting was natural. I only used Lighroom 3 to enhance these photos.
For the Butterfly and Flower photographs, I used my Nikon D300S camera with a Nikon 70-200mm f-2.8 lens, and a 20mm extension tube. For the lighting, a Sigma EM-140 DG was used. It was a fairly windy day, so the flash froze any movement of subjects I was taking, and provided sharp images. Lightroom 3 was the only application I used to enhance the photos.

Pic. A representative of a three legged deer. rate 3
Pic. B same, but sharp great color rate 2
Pic. C had to look up Lantana Camera, thought it was something new in photo gear. Seems to lack sharpness allover. Maybe smaller f/stop, or more sharpening. You might have wanted it that way, impressionistic. Again, a 2.

3 legged deer-3
Butterfly-2 Better than any butterfly pictures I have taken
Lantana-3 I like the colors but the lack of sharpness really detracts for me.

#1: Interesting subject, terrible backbround. Exposure seem a little hot, which has something to do with the background and a lot to do with ambiant light. Shoot wildlife early and late.
#2: Good comp., but overcooked in PP, or you could use a better lens.
#3: Like the comp. and the DOF, but again overcooked. Detail could be much better.

Ron, You really made me start to think about this thread I began, and I realized it was wrong. These photos are more documentary, and I wanted share my experience with other people and shouldn't been asking for a critique. You were were 100% on your feedback about these photos. Next time, I will think more before I ask for feedback or critiques. It also seems people are not really interested in the technical info either. Arnold
