“Out for a stroll”

Today is the final day to submit your photo entry into the Photobird Photo Contest for July 2009! The contest is always free to enter and this month’s contest ends today, Friday, July 31, 2009 at 11:59pm Pacific time. Enter the contest here.

“Three” is the theme of the Photobird Photo Contest for July 2009. Sonja Throssell entered a cute photo of three goslings entitled “Out for a stroll“. Not only are they out for a stroll, but it looks like they’re hunting ferociously for food. (If goslings can be ferocious, that is.)

The composition of Sonja’s photo is very well done. First, the photo is shot at ground level where the goslings are, not from up at human height. Secondly, I like that the goslings are photographed at a slight angle, so they appear staggered in the photo, so we can clearly see all three of them. Finally, I like the simplicity of the photo, which enables us to focus our attention on the goslings. There’s not much else in the photo: three goslings, grass, and green water. The last two make the goslings stand out very well in the photo. For more composition tips, read “Composition Is Key” in the Photobird Daily.
