Fly Fishing Photo Critique

[sizemoreoutdoors]

Here are three shots I've taken recently while out fly fishing around North Carolina. The only editing done was basic WB, contrast, exposure adjustment, etc. I would appreciate some feedback.

Canon Rebel XS
18-55mm kit lens @50mm
ISO 800
f/5.6
1/25s

This was taken at Snowbird Creek, NC over the summer.

Canon Rebel T2i
18-55mm @18mm
ISO 100
f/22
1.2s

This was taken at Fires Creek, NC in the peak of fall color. The sun was bright with no clouds, but there was a pretty thick tree cover. Instead of a tripod, I had the camera sitting on my bag in the leaves.

Canon T2i
18-55 @18mm
ISO 2000
f/5.6
1/40s

This image required a good bit of burning in post processing to lower the dynamic range. I did not have a Graduated ND filter.

1. it appears green to me. im at work so it could be these crap monitors but even the water looks green.

2. i like the leaves in the foreground and the water, just wish there was a bit more to the top. it just appears cut off at the top.like you were trying to cut something out of the photo.

3. is nice, just wish it was a bit more sharp for me personally.

Awesome shots! I am located in Raleigh, NC!

I'm about 20 minutes outside of Raleigh now but will be moving into town next month near Crabtree Valley.



OP: The first shot is very green to me too.
