New To The Forum, First Picture Post (now with suggested edits)

Firstly i want to say hello.

This forum has been recommended to me by several people on another forum i use

I have been shooting Wildlife for around 6 months now and would really appreciate C&C to help me improve.

This Image was taken in Oban earlier this year

Thanks

Andy

Shot with 1DSMKIII and 400MM F/2.8

oops sorry i meant 1DMKIII

Nice first post Andy - welcome to UKNPN

If the subject was a little further left in the frame and a bit more empty space on the right it would be perfect

Looking forward to seeing more from you

Thanks for the quick reply and C&C Andy , I will crop the image again as requested and post it for you.

Careful we bite!!!!!! LOL enjoy it mate .Great debut BTW.Oh and I agree with Sigmonster.

Welcome Andy. Very nice first post, something a little bit different. Though insects are more to my liking.

Welcome to the forum Andy,

Bertl

Welcome to the forum and a very fine first image. The suggested crop would finish the image off perfectly.

Hi Andy

Welcome to the forum - nice image which would also have looked good in a portrait format if you had some more canvas top & bottom!

David

I think this is a superb image, especially when you take a little off the left. Look forward to seeing many more.

welcome to the forum - nice first image, as mentioned crop off LHS would improve - well seen and captured

cheers

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum, great first post, looking forward to more!

Cheers,

Lewis.

wow, thankyou for the comments everyone.

I have some more from the set so will look at some in portrait also, this is probably a 20% crop but thats just a guess. It was taken in Oban harbour by lying flat on the pavement and leaning over the wall with the kit on a beanbag. I went for a few days tuition there and it was well worth it

Hi Andy

very nice image, great style and vision, agree that I might have prefered a vertical but the use of blur has really defined the head and look, great first post, and welcome

Paul

Thankyou Paul

I do have a portrait shot ready to post as suggested but cannot see the option when i reply, to add an image

Hi Andy welcome to UKNP!

but cannot see the option when i reply, to add an image

I believe that option is only avaiable for full paid up members. Then there is an include .jpg file with your reply (next to the Reply to this Topic - Button).

Become a member its cheap enough and well worth it IMHO!

Hi and welcome.... nice first post, agree with the crop suggestion, looking forward to more...

Again, hello and welcome.. A fine image to start with and looking forward to more.

Welcone to the forum

Ok Now im a fully paid up member i can post the suggested edited shots.

First the portrait version and i agree with David Kjaer, i really like this version

And next as Andy Astbury suggested, the version with the Gullimot further to the left, again i think its a big improvement so thankyou for you C&C
