Hi Paul , a simple and nice effective profile shot . Set the subject nicely off the BG , cool colors . For me the image is lacking critical...

Hi Kamal .... a real color fireworks !!!!! Love it . Think shooting portrait might have been slightly better , easy to say with hindsight . ...

Thanks so much folks , for your feedback . Glad you like it ..... Steve - I could have bet , that you would say that about the water :t3:t3:w3....

Hi Jon .... love it , when folks are going OOTB . IT is hard to create a great image though . A lot of trail and error ....to make it work , I...

Hi David ... besides the not ideal head angle I quite like the image . This would make a very nice high image .... but needs way more light , less...

Hi Dave ... a lovely classic shot of this most beautiful European bird species ( well in my eyes ) I would agree about technical shortcomings of...

Hi Krishna , love the colors , the low POV , the tons of detail and the " action " as a bonus . AS presented it is not ideal from the framing...

Hi Daniel lovely looking bird , I do like the overall colors and the image design . Perch might be not ideal , not that important to me . I...

Hi Randy .. a real cracker for me . Super low POV and the smooth FG and BG is priceless good . Cool pose of the subject . Tones are spot on as is...

Sharp on the eye with nice detail. You needed to get taller as the horizon line at the top of the head is an image killer ... Is 1/5300 sec. really a...

Hi Kamal, I like the pose and you did well for a grab shot, but the colours as presented appear quite odd. I've never seen a bird like this whilst in...

Perch, bird, colors, details and pose all beautiful. You could go vertical and lose the OOF vine on left. What a subject... TFS ps That grasp on...

Thanks as always David. :)

Love the SH right where it needs to be, the perch and the water drops. BG is killer and I'd keep as is. Yes to faster SS to better define rain. This...

A very nice capture Andreas and the very saturated colouring of the Penguins set agains the very contrasty blacks provided for a striking image. I...

Cool image and I like the OOF bird except the halo. Water action is superb... TFS

The BKG I personally find, is very distracting here John, I might just darken it all down. In addition, the three dark 'blobs' in line with the head...

I love the simplicity and complimentary BG of this canvas. Is the eye the membrane? I would lose the hole in perch. TFS

Correct Artie, one of the few, sunny days.

Cool design, though too large in the frame and as already mentioned harsh light was against you. TFS ps Love the mouthful...

Sweet EXP on those whites, nice HA and love the ripples as BG. TFS

Hopefully increasing the SS should offer better definition for the rain. No harm in being different, but it needs to work and the balance I feel...

Ideal angle and the bird is very well shown, the image really conveys the situation very well indeed, a top shot!

Steve, I agree compositionally not ideal, the foremost log is there because it is hollowed out to take seeds, I pulled the grasses up to try to...

No nits from me Arash. However, if this was mine (live in hope!) I'd hit that very small dark spot on the far wing with the spot healing tool in...

I really like this image. The BG works so well as a compliment to the bird's colouring. I'm fine with the top log (don't find it messy/ugly). If it...

Yes, a really dynamic image. Love the overall composition, oof bird behind, water splash, colours and sharpness of the main Penguin. TFS
