Bird on a stick

[Dominic Cantin]

Hi :)

Here's a shot taken 2 days ago. The bird was intrigued by my presence when I arived but few minutes later , he returns to his daily routines by cleaning his feathers and claws :cool:

This image is a full frame. I had no choice due to the branches all around. ( I was in the wood )

Cute pose, made me smile. :) I like the details and would give it a tad more room left and right and increase contrast a few points.

Fine image with a great pose and detail I agree about a little more room on the sides.

Hey, love this one Dominic. Talk about head angles. Feather detail is really nice and it seems like you caught it all, exposure, catch light and pose. Hard pressed to fault this one. Really like it. It should sell well.

Nice shot Dom!

Keep shooting!:)
