[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
taken from thurstaston nature reserve looking across the river dee estuary towards north wales. i used my 90-300 at max zoom and nearly max aperture to blur the background completely.

originally i took this horizontally but i cropped it to vertical as it looks much better that way, then i framed, resized and increased colour saturation slightly.

1/320 at f6.3, iso 400, 300mm.

Sean, I think this is a good compo. As you said, the vertical format suits this shot fine. I also like the absolutely blurred background.
But... this would have looked so much better if the subject would have been in focus. Ok, I know, there probably was some wind and you used full tele. What I do is: take a couple of shots... we're shooting digital, right ? One of them is bound to be ok. If not, simply erase them. Just my opinion, of course ;o)

I like the tonal graduation on the back and the simplicity of the photo!

Congratulations,
João

So simple...So beautiful. A great composition with a nice color graduation in the background. A great vision ;o)

Beautiful,simple composition and colors. The blurred background and the out-of-focus subject make the picture particularly effective: you can look at it more than once without loosing interest, using your imagination to figure out the missing details.

a beautiful photo,
good color and quality of image

Lovely shot. Beautifull colours, with such a simple subject.
Congratulations for the sensibility.

Hello Sean, I agree with you, horizontally it's beautiful even though I didn't see it the other way.

Very good compo and choice of dof. It brings the focus on the twig against these great colours of the sunset. Lovely and simple. Very effective.

Very well done. Cheers, Yan

hi! i like the tones and the sense of lonelyness. we can feel the wind... TFS

Hi Mate
