Comment | I chose this image as I felt it offers a different take on the head and bills theme of the competition. I believe it meets the criteria for inclusion - all that is visible of the female is head and bill, and it definitely shows detail - but I think it also tells a story, which is difficult to do with the more typical head and shoulders / portrait type image. For me, the strong points of this image are the detail (I was using a 600mm lens with a 1.4x TC at very close range on a 42MP camera), and the emotion invoked by a cute, fluffy duckling being fed by its doting mother. In spite of the low levels of ambient light, I elected to maintain a high shutter speed, and stopped down on the aperture (which meant I had to push up the ISO to quite high levels) in an attempt to maximise detail and eliminate motion blur. | ||||||||||||||||||
