The interest to me is in the foreground and background. Taking a lower pov thus reducing the blankish mid ground would improve the image. The texture is quite interesting.
You need to look at the histogram and get the black and white points. This is a greyscale image. Use a good b&w convertor.
Autofocus tends to settle on the lightest part of the image, did you use autofocus?
The image is soft and underexposed. One or both might be fixable in Photoshop.
I would try to darken the greens to help the image pop. I am also not a fan of central subjects, a little more on the left might improve the punch of the image.
Sorry there is information. ISO1250 might be a clue to the burn out
The burnt out area top right ruins the image. If you cannot control the light behind you would need to get in closer to cut it out.
Again no information on camera settings, jpg/raw etc so it is difficult to make any more suggestions.It was good of the subject to lay down whilst you took your shot! Generally you have done a good job. Fortunately the subject is a Canon user and it is universally well known that they make excellent subjects and are very accomodating.
You might try cropping quite tightly and then desaturating the sky to grey. The patch of snow keeps pulling the eye too the bottom rh corner.
There is a sort of rule that odd numbers work better.The blue boat looks more interesting so maybe changing position would have created a stronger image.
This is not a panorama in my view. It is HDR. I have always had a problem with the figure for scale argument. I sort of know how big a tree is and I think figures spoil landscape (this is afterall only my opinion) I generally think splitting an image 50/50 as this one is takes any tension out of the image and perhaps cropping a bit off the bottom would improve the image. A tiny bit of sharpening for the foreground would work.
This is a good idea. If you take a long exposure you will inevitably get this burn out. One way to fix is to take a normal exposure at the same time and blend the two images. You could also reshoot at a different time of day when the light is not streaming through that window.
I agree with some of the other comments. Try reshooting at f22 and see what you get. If you can shoot towards the sunset (west?) you might pick up some afterglow with a long exposure.
This is not a patch on the first image. Slightly underexposed and not very interesting.The subject takes up a very small part of the frame. A different viewpoint might have helped.
A much tighter crop just showing the leaf would make this much stronger. You have captured the texture but a bit of dodging in the highlights would emphasise it more.
I think you should have waited and got the shot with the afterglow. The sun is too bright.
The problem, in my opinion, is that the pigeon is doing nothing. In the photography world this is known a s “birds on sticks” The idea is to get the shot with the creature eating, preening anything realy but not just sitting there.
The right hand side is burnt out, it has no detail left in. i think I would have zoomed in even close and just got the eyes, the tip of the nose does nothing for me.
Using the horizon to divide the image in two spoils this image IMHO. I think you need the foreground so the top could be reduced.
