>>4036615Cutting to the absolute basics of how I take a picture, you need to decide what the subject of the picture is, and have that draw your eyes to it immediately. IMHO, if I've taken a shot and people are hunting around for the subject, I've failed.
In this shot, the bird is a great catch, but it took me a bit to even spot it. I might try over-saturating the bird and de-saturating the rest of the picture to draw it out some... or maybe blur the rest of the picture away from the bird. Tough situation, but I'd try anything and everything to get something out of it. You're not going to get a shot like this every day.
