The lighting's a bit harsh and the exposure is blown out on the white feathers.

Yeah, I know. It was taken around noon so way too bright. I was just trying to get a pic of a characteristic that specific species has to illustrate a point. But it turned out extremely sharp and was accessible on my phone, so thought I'd upload it here and see if it was downsized.

Do you have any idea how to fix the graininess? Taken on a canon SL1 Rebel

Zero ideas.
I just wanted to point it out.

I saw someone recently selling digital prints of “oil paintings” of peoples pets. They were done just like this. The price was ridiculous. And they charged an extra $5 just for a text box layer over top with the pet’s name.

I'll keep my mouth closed this time.
I could not believe that when I saw it either and if I'm not mistaken somebody on here actually bought one.
Oh boy.

Something's not right but I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's too dark in the background?
I think you should paint that one... It would look better.

I would zoom in closer on the Jeep, and align it so that using the rule of thirds, the front corner of it is aligned with the line on the right side.

Wow, thanks. That looks really good.
Now if I was to criticize my picture that you cropped... I'd say give a little more space in the front. The picture looks too small to hold the car. (Then on what I often use my car pictures for, the ends would end up accidentally getting cut off unless I removed the motion. ) But either way, I think it still looks good.

The picture is too crowded. You should go back a little to give some more space. Specifically, more neck space. Then maybe switch angle just a tiny bit, and throw a little bit more space in the front.

Or just really mess with it

I like it!

I have the hardest time photographing white birds!

It's pretty crowded as Lacy said, and it's overexposed.
I could probably edit it and fix some of those things.
Or fix it in painting, lol.
