Thanks for the comments everyone, on reflection I agree regarding composition, I am just finding it difficult to throw pixels away at the moment. I...

Will, here turn off Eye detection.

Well captured Andreas, nice image Boetie. Sorry to hear you got caught in the rain and hail but if you managed a number of good frames I suppose it...

Thanks for that guys..much appreciated...Yes eye detection on Steve....I was using short bursts as soon as I seen the Otter move....took hundreds of...

Steve...Here is the image with 20% Sat added as you suggested.....For me, it's looking good... Thanks for that.

Thanks for that, Andreas, Kevin and Steve.....much appreciated Will

hi Kevin, very good photo... congratulations. ı am waiting Artie Raw

Thanks, every criticism is taken into account.

Hi Jon, tough to shoot through into the canopy, but you did well. The FG branch really dominates for me, plus the amount of grain in the face at...

Think I prefer the previous one with more habitat, it's a bit too big in frame for me, but lovely details. TFS Steve

Gambling Chamois, sweet. I like you caught it in mid stride, but feel it's a little big in frame and dominates the scene for me. The thick dense...

Sent the Raw file Artie.

I like the idea of a "wake" shot. A pano crop might work well. I also like the soft light and the dreamy colors. with love, a

Love the beautiful bird and the soft light. a

Love the soft light and the look-back head turn. with love, a

Decent enough for such tall birds. I really miss the second eye of the bird in the back. with love, a

Hey Kev, If you see this, please send me the raw file :-) a

Super shot your patience was well rewarded, you must have been pretty close, focus and DOF are food colours and details equally so.

Your discomfort was well rewarded Andreas, this is a fine image. It appears well focused and sharp colours look impressive and accurate. I like it...

Neat bird and pose and a perfect head angle. Not sure why you have more room behind the bird than in front of the perch. Makes no sense to me. The...

Andreas. Thanks for your comments. Enlarging the JPEG I see zero noise on the legs. The bill of the adult was in an identically framed image...

Thanks, Jon. I may need to calibrate my monitor when I get. As above, the funkiness of the bill is a result of being well behind the place of sharp...

Yes, I wanted a high key look. Yes, I added the catchlight. The bill looks a bit funky because it was not on the plane of sharp focus. With love,...

Thanks everyone glad you liked, I do have some more. Getting the colours right is something I find tricky, nothing wrong with my acuity just my...

Kevin doesn't your camera show blinkies in the viewfinder or rear view? I like the shot but not the crop, the daks look a little muddy to me.

Hmm i'd say 9/10 detail, tones composition super so what's wrong with the perch? Obviously a staged set up but looks ok to me. The only minor issue...

Hi Will, looks like the trip was extremely fruitful. Lovely image and the flowers for me, just adds. WB looks bang on, so IMHO all you need is to...

Hi Jon, just not a fan of this framing with too little below and too much above, balance is just off. If that is all you have at the foot then going...
