This is my first post and my irst animal shot. He kind of snuck up on me. Is he too close? Do I need more detail in the picture?

I forgot to mention the picture was taken with a Canon Rebel T3

Please include the exif data so we know what your settings were.

I just started in phtography. I was using the creative setting (CA) where they have presettings. this specific one was "vivid" mode on medium (2/3) setting.

I don't know how much that helps. I have been studying up on the camera and will be shooting in Av more to get better.

I will try to be more specific next photo.

I see you said you were on "vivid" mode for this shot. You can get the specific EXIF data from flickr if you click your camera in the top right of the page.

However regarding this shot - personally i feel that the vivid mode made it a little too saturated for my tastes. Experiment with A S and M and you'll have a lot of fun Good luck!

Welcome to the site. this little guy was pretty close. I think perhaps the back ground is a little bit busy but the duck it's self is a cute subject. Keep shooting and sharing!
