Super detail Lance. That eye ring is awesome. Looks just a little dark to me. I'd also think about cropping from the top and maybe just a hint from the bottom also.

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with the crop suggestion Will give a much better ration !!!

I like the pose and setting. Would back saturation on the reds just a tad, remember what the camera doses to those tones. Would like to see a little more contrast on the feathers and some work around the eye. Lighter would look better and really pop !! Love the low angle. One of your best Lance I really like this a lot !!! Big Congrats !!!

[Harold Davis]

awesome perspective, lance!!! do agree the eye could use some brightening. that bird looks a lot like our killdeer.

very beautiful!! great job!!

[George DeCamp]

Sweet bird and wonderful perspective,it pays to get low down and dirty! Another suggestionwould have beena kiss of fill flash to add a little brightness and a catch light.

A sweet image though Lance congrats!!

[Lance Peters]

couple of quick changes as suggested.


Thanks for the kind words :)

[Harold Davis]
