Pied Take-off

[Vivaldo Damilano]

D4 600VR 1/3200 at F6.3. ISO2200.

Killer shot! Love the angle and the bg. Great detail too

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Vivaldo, lovely light and detail. The curled up wingtips is quite a nice touch to an already stunning image. I'm not 100% on board with the branch on the left. Seems a bit too low for it to be the take-off point, so I'm not sure that it's relevant.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks Cheryl and Miguel. The pied did take off from this perch Miguel and IMO it should be included. It's an interesting comment, would love to here from others on what they prefer.

Awesome pose, sweet light, and nice BG. I think including the perch is appropriate, as the bird appears to have just lifted off.

[John Chardine]

Great action and timing. Sharp where it needs to be. I see quite a bit of chromatic aberration around the bird's head (magenta) and greenish at the other side. This can be corrected.

Vivaldo:

Great timing, sense of action, neutral background. I personally would include the perch, even a sliver more if you have it, and a little more room to the right as well.

Great pose.

Cheers

Randy

PS John and I were typing at the same time. sorry for duplicated comments!

[Ignacio Yufera]

Great timing, sharpness, light and BG. Well done.

[Melissa Groo]

Awesome dynamic image, Vivaldo. Beautiful BG, great angle of the bird, wing position, and I would say a definite yes on perch inclusion.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image! I like the flight angle, BG, wing position and perch.

[Arthur Morris]

I love, love, love the image design as posted. The BKGR is killer as is the pose. As John Chardine noted, the face looks a bit funky.... On 2nd look a bit more of the perch would work for me as well, but overall I love this one. Did I forget to mention the spectacular pose?

Hi Vivaldo, very well timed, great take off pose, and against that lovely early morning Mankwe BG.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks veryone for suggestions and lovely comments :S3: I have to go back know and see if I can fix the chromatic aberration around the head. Didn't notice it to be honest.

Lovely shot of the KF,Vivaldo.Like it as is and must say the peachy colored BG is extra nice.TFS

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks everyone. I hopefully fix chromatic aberration, would love to here if it's better then OP.
