Last Day of Duck Season

[Redfish]

I just got my first DSLR. It's a Canon Rebel XS. I have the basic 18-55IS lens and the EF75-300mm lens. This was the first time I've really gotten to use it. I've had a point and shoot for a while and decided it was time to upgrade. I plan on using my camera for hunting and fishing trips so my main goal is to learn to shoot wildlife and the areas that I hunt and fish. I know I'm just a beginner so please feel free to critique. Any advice is more than welcome.

Thanks.

The second shot has promise if cropped a bit from the right and bottom. The other shots do nothing for me.

I'd like to see the receiver of the shotgun, and two shells, along with the two ducks you bagged...kind of puts it into perspective in the future...80 years ago, it might have been a side-by-side American double, or a Winchester 1912 pump, or an early Browning or Remington autoloader (a square-back)...today it might be a Benelli or something new and modern...the photo just needs some "propping"...even a couple of spent hulls would help.

Watch your horizon lines, 3 is slipping. I'd agree with Derrel on adding some context to 1, but also try some rule of thirds as well.

Why is that?


Thanks for the advice though guys. I tried to re-do the second one. Thoughts?

I am stabilized now Second shot is very excellent; in the third image, there are good areas of interests, but the broken branches in the foreground prevents the observer from entering the image; since you are OK to edit, i am posting one
