breakthrough birdie

[Stitch]

I saw this technique and I just had to try it! I am satisfied with it as a first attempt but there is definitely room for improvement. I would love to know what people think of it positive or negative. Any advice/tips/CC is welcome. I can't wait to try another one

Thanks

I think this is not so good a shot for this. The bird's feet and right wing are impacting the back of the frame. One thing to consider when doing these is continuity of the 3d elements. The frame cannot interfere with physical objects or the action in the scene. Also figure out how the light is shining on the scene, then try to get the frame's shadow and background gradient to obey the light.

But then again, you could tackle this at a totally different angle. Place the frame flat and have the bird landing in the frame of water, with water splashing out.

Stitch, Welcome

That is good as a first attempt. One thing that improves photography is reality, such as what you'd see if you physically take a cutout frame and hold a toy or doll or stuffed small animal in various positions, with various lighting on it. Pay attention to how shadows fall, and which parts coming through look most realistic. This is great practice for your edit skills, hope it's fun, too.

love the shot ...can't really critique as i don't even know what is the name of this technique...but would love to learn.

can someone please guide me to resources of this technique or at least let me know what is it called.

Thanks

Normally called "oob" or "Out of Bounds", sometimes called "Out of Frame" but that can cause confusion with "oof" (Out of Focus) shots.
