feeding the ducks

today I went up the coast - partly to enjoying hanging with reptiles and other equally amazing creatures and partly to have a play with composition - I am somewhat pleased with this - please feel free to let me know what is right and what I could have done better.
this is SOOC no crop just frame added

[Graeme Stevens]

Well, that's more ducks than I got the other day...

[Annie D]

@graemestevens yeh it is - but is it composed in a good way - that was my aim - I have more hahaha I always have more - lol

[Graeme Stevens]

Well, I'm no expert but I do like the way that the tree/branches in the foreground frame the two voyeurs watching all that ducking. I think it's very well composed.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahaha I was trying - and I am trying - thought I'd get in before you did LOL

[Beryl Lloyd]

A beautifully composed scene -- an idilic

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Dammit.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens yeh - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Annie D]

@beryl thank you Beryl

[tingliu]

很羡慕这种悠闲的生活Admire the carefree life

[Newbank Lass]

Well it's pleasing to my eye if that means anything! Love the framing with trees.

[Simply Amanda]

Wonderfully seen and framed!

[Annie D]

@newbank thanks Ruth - I was looking through the photos PK had taken for me and others he had sent and I ------well he was going to teach me - I felt him with me today so maybe he is giving me a helping hand

[Annie D]

@amandal thank you Amanda - I am trying to work on in camera composition rather than post cropping

[👑 AnaZad]

Great composition nicely framed by those low branches.

[Newbank Lass]

@annied I think he'd have been v proud. Glad you feel him with you as you do the thing that brought you together. Keep going.

[Annie D]

@anazad511 thank you Ana - I am working on it lol
hope things are going ok with you :)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens more ducks - euphemism - bit slow long day - sun - kangaroo penises - wine - it does that to a girl - lady - oddball hahahaha

[Annie D]

@newbank thank you - I will - it is the only way I know :)

[john graham]

looks great Annie....nicely composed...

[Simply Amanda]

Great work...isn't it cool to start getting it right pre edit or sooc?

[Annie D]

@amandal it feels very good

[Sheralee S]

Nice framing Annie, lovely scene you found.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Love your composition, and the little stray duck behind the people.

[K1W1]

I like it. Like the way the trees frame the scene and the position of the people feeding the little duckies. I like the sneaky shot look too :)

[Debs Stott]

I like it too, the trees and the line of rocks are great frames. Such a tranquil scene.

[Francoise]

I want to be there.

[Ukandie!]

I like the way the trees frame the people. It looks peaceful.

[Graham Thresher]

A super capture.

[Nina Ganci]

amazing composition

[Kareen King]

A lovely, refreshing, romantic scene well captured, Annie. FAv.

[~~JT]

Nice natural framing.

[KWind]

Wonderful composition! I like the placement of the people and the branches in the foreground.

[Ceeceebee]

I like the focus on the couple , framed by the tree, and the slightly hazy focus on the background. Think PK would approve. :-)

[Ivan]

Very pleasing outdoor shot - maybe a fraction less on the right, to where the tree is?

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied LOL, alrighty then...

[Tineke]

nice composed, but I should also left a little bit of the frame on the right sight.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens ooh sorry did I confuse haha

[Hope D Jennings]

So beautiful,Annie

[Annie D]

@bella_ss @teiko @k1w1 @dibzgreasley
thank you so much for the wonderful comments - I am a spontaneous snap away type and it feels good to try something new

[Annie D]

@francoise it was a beautiful spot

[Annie D]

@ukandie1 @thresheg @ninaganci thank you for taking the time to comment I really appreciate it :)

[Annie D]

@kareenking thank you so much Kareen

[Annie D]

@voiceprintz thank you - it did lend itself to framing
@kwind thanks Kim
@ccb think he may have been guiding me a little - felt him smiling as I wandered around

[Annie D]

@ivan @tstb ah thank you - yes I can see what you mean - not sure if I tried that but couldn't get the right angle naturally because of the terrain and other things

[Annie D]

@mzzhope thank you Hope - it was a very pleasant stroll

[Gena Pegg]

Really like your pov and comp here Annie. What a lovely scene and a day well spent!

[Kathie]

Well framed by the tree. Lots of interest.

[Annie D]

@eyesmile @kathiecb thank you so much :)

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Lovely scene of the couple looking at the view.

[Yao RL]

What a lovely setting.

[Sam]

I know nothing about composition or any of that technical "stuff". I don't really care for it - just as long as you like it, that is all that matters!!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower that is my philosophy too but I like to try new things hahaha - I am sure you know how to compose your images without thinking about it lol

[Sam]

@annied I doubt it!!! I'm just a point and shoot ladyeeeee with my Nikon :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower you have a good eye :)

[Sam]

@annied *blushing*

[Sally Ings]

Great candid, very cool composition and framing

[Bankmann]

I really like the mood in this… and how you’ve used the tree to frame the picture...

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

What beautiful, natural scene!
