Why shoot this at f/18 ?
And 1/400s shutter speed ?
You just "upped" your ISO, increased the digital noise, introduced grain, lost sharpness and other image quality characteristics ( color depth, dynamic range ) for no reason.
I would also crop it right before the end of the lake, no need to include the background ( wooden bridge, woods in the background ).
Thanks for taking the time Bill , yeah that was a complete rookie blunder. I got so caught up in this event and the change in scene (inside then out , bright then shade) that i kinda took a shortcut on this. But valuable lessons learnt on this shoot and i think i will be i little more calm on the next....was nerve wrecking as you may know. I really didnt want to screw it up. But i am so grateful you took the time to really look at this.
I see!
That was my first thought.
I can totally understand and relate with you!
A photographer's first event is usually nerve-wrecking and most of us are "caught in the moment" almost running around like headless chickens haha.
Though you still managed to get some more than decent shots!
