American Robin Head Portrait

I made this image in provo Bay, with fill flash on the subject.

Hope this one does not look washed out.

I removed out of focus white object in bottom right corner.

Nicely balanced comp, and a beautiful BG - except for the lower part that I would fill in to eliminate the whitish areas. The image does not look washed out per say, but the midtones could use some judicious darkening. Nicer ans sharp, and I like the thin feather strands sticking out behind the head.

Hello Krishna, I agree w Dan's suggestions. The rust of the robin looks off, too bright and too orangey... I would also crop tighter on the bottom to eliminate the whitish grey area neath the wing. TFS

Nice detail on the bird. Agree about the white along the bottom.
