Some pictures of an elk I took. I don't care if you're harsh as long as you offer solutions along with your criticism.

I honestly somehow missed the awful lens vignette on a lot of these until just now so I'm going to have to correct that, point it out if you want but I already know.
this board is fucking dead.
>>2858608
The vignette is far down the list of issues. You are approximately 60km away from the elk, and using some sort of crappy semi telephoto lens. Walk closer, or get a longer lens, or both.
The elk should be the subject of your photos, however due to how small it is in the frame, as well as the fact that it's colour mixes in with the dreary brown of the grass, it is lost. You've basically got a large greenish browny mess.
>>2858608
Also, lurk moar. Look at the rpt threads, and other photo threads. Look at the photos anons post, and look at the feedback they get from them. A lot of the time it's random abuse, but sometimes it's helpful info.
delete this shit thread and those awful pieces of shit photos, you fucking useless retard. lurk forever and stay there.
>>2858618
Thanks for the tips I'll really consider that next time I'm out shooting. I'm glad I can come to this board and get good advice like this whenever I want. /p/ is a truly wonderful place and its really all thanks to people like you who know how to give unbiased and critical advice. I can not thank you enough for you valuable input.

To be fair he has a point, just expressed it like a raging autist. I recommend you check out one of the wildlife threads and ask them for advice. As for these photos I'd probably massively crop it and stick it in high contrast black and white if I was going to try and salvage it. There isn't enough contrast between the elk and the grass and it's so small in the frame I couldn't even see it in the thumbnail! For future wildlife photography I recommend you get as close as you can, that's pretty much the number one rule for any kind of photography really!
(Oh and in future look for an appropriate thread rather than making your own unless you have a big dump of varied photos, eg: just got back from Portugal, here's a load of photos I done took)

whats with the sharpening

>>2858604
okay, eff it. all of them are from too far away for the lens you're using, and way too oversharpened. You'd really need to use a longer lens and not sharpen as much in post. The long lens will not only get you further reach, but it will also separate the subject from the background a little bit more.
>>2858707
how stoned were you when trying to focus on that cat?
>>2858780
bestiality. focus is on the breast. duh.
I always thought these threads were a joke, but I'm just not sure anymore...
boring shit.
>>2858803
they are troll threads.
