Sparrow

Hussain,

Welcome to NPN's Avian critique gallery, it is a great place to learn and strengthen your skills as a photographer.

I like the pose of your sparrow and the natural setting. There are a few issues I'd like to address. The first is your file size on the server, it is only 106 kb and should be larger than that, try keeping the 720 pixel at just under 300 kb, over compression causes loss of detail and sharpness and can cause strange artifacts around the bird. Next; you had some challenging light to deal with, brighter on the bird and foreground and more shadowed in the background. I see that you didn't use any exposure compensation for this file and I would have used some negative exposure compensattion to control the lightest parts of the bird and the palm fronds. As posted some of those areas appear too bright. You may be able to bring you exposure down to help that and show more detail in those areas. The bird is soft which might have been caused by missing the focus.

I hope to see more of your work.

Welcome to the gallery. I think Mia made very good and helpful comments and I won't repeat them. If you stay around this gallery and continue to post and comment on other images you will learn and improve. I have.

Hi Hussain,
If it's a bright sunny day try photographing early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the lighting is nice. The lighting looks pretty difficult here, Mia has given you some good suggestions regarding how to deal with that.
