Tinch over exposed, but otherwise a great picture.

Hi Sabine. I think the capture of this 'kitten' is very good. Your timing is very good and there is really some tension in the photo because of the stance of the animal and the stare in its eyes, which is really eyecatching. Unfortunately, the photo is overexposed. That makes the colours somewhat flat and makes the highlights blown out. If your camera has that option, you could have done an exposure correction of about between 0.5-1.0 stops (underexposure). That would make the colours more lively and saturated and there would be much more detail in the fur. One other thing is that it would be nice to see the image a bit larger. That makes it easier to see it better. I hope you don't mind the critique, because again, the capture of this photo is really good!! Regards!

Hi Sabine,
Well executed shot, though I think the expression makes him/her look a little goofy. Did the critter oblige by letting you take one with a straight face-on stare? I think they generally work the best, though obviously the animals don't always play ball 
Chris.

It was the beautiful light on this shot that caught my eye. The reflection adds as well. I actually like the windmills in the distance. I figured they may have some significance to you. If so they are beneficial, if not then I guess I'd have to agree with eveyone else about their not needing to be included. Maybe I'm odd but the antenae doesn't bother me too much. Adds a little geometric interest, especially with it's reflection.

I love the simplicity and continuity of soft colour spectrum from the foreground deepening into the background. Lovely tranquil shot - must be the most chilled out fishing you can do without beer.

The light is coming from the side (left here), which is good. The contrast between highlights and shadows is a bit high. If you shot this in the evening, it would have been better to wait for less contrasty light.

As portraits go its nice but I agree that the antenna an windmills in the background are vey distracting and contradictory to your purpose. I don't think cropping will help because of the antenna being next to her head.

Guten Tag. Die farbe ist sehr gut aber ich muss auch sagen das die rote fahne nehmt ein bissen weg vom bild. Sonst ist alles in ortnung. Ich hoffe du kannst mein armes Deutsch lessen.

I like the quiet pose, and the reflection off the hood of the car. However the background is a little busy. You could lose the antennae dangling over her head, it's irritating. The windmills in the distant background are ok, they add atmosphere, and are appropriately out of focus. She has a slight squint because of the bright sunlight.

Thanks for your comments guys - still got a lot to learn I guess but in the meantime I'm just enjoying practising! I agree with both your comments and really appreciate what you said about trying to gauge the scale. It was a bit of a hazy day Jeroen but I think you're right, the exposure was off and I did shoot it on automatic so will try to touch it up on the scan.
Thanks again!

Good effort Sabine. Like Jeroen said the exposure may be a bit off, particularly if you were using the camera on automatic.
Only other point to make is to gauge the scale.
These mountains are truly awesome but in a photograph without a person, or skilift ot some other object it is sometimes hard to judge how big they really are.
Good effort though.

Good composition, but it looks a bit dirty. Either the exposure was off or it was hazy.
I think you can correct it reasonably well on the scan.

I would try to blur the background use a lager aperture. The fallen tree isn't needed.

Many thanks to Jasper, Mary Sue and Maggie for your comments. I was quite nervous about posting this but am thrilled I did. Really appreciate the cropping comments - really need to work on the whole point of focus thing!
Thanks again.
Sabine

what do you mean by right. I like it the way it is. If I have to offer criticism, perhaps a little too much of the yellow tint. but that's nitpicking. ron

Welcome to Usefilm...this is a very nice first post! I agree with Maggie's crop suggestion, the gate is the real story here. Looking forward to more of your posts!

It does give me the impression of being invited in just to see what is on the other side. I like it but nothing constructive to add though. Keep up the good work.

Hi Sabine..welcome to usefilm. Yes this does look like a story book image. I just wish you had uploaded a bit bigger image for us to see.
Because the gate is the point of interest in this image and is beckoning us to come through it to the other side, I think I would have cropped out half of the forground and moved the viewer closer to that gate. If the foreground wasnt in shadow it may have worked better as is. See what other memebers think...its not a biggy one way or the other *smile*....Maggie
