Needing a break from winter bird images, north and south, here's one from late September. Canon 500mm f4 and 1.4xII on tripod, fill flash- 2, EC -1/3, F8 and ISO 400. The background is oof evergreens- nothing removed. Late day sun was still a bit harsh.

Nice BKGR and flower. Wish for a bit more light on the face and the wings either more blurred or less blurred (if that makes sense). I have always enjoyed your images and your on-line personality so it is good to see you here and hope to meet you somewhere down the road.

Did you watch the Giants??????????????????????

later and love, artie

I like the flower, BG and details. There is some noise visible around the edges, which appears more prominent since the rest of the BG has NR applied.

What a defense! What a game!

Beautiful bg, and nice flower. Great pose and head position, and good composition. The bird looks somewhat washed out, as if you may have applied a bit too much S/H to lessen the shadows.

Nice image, nice subject, nice bg. Well done.

A lovely composition Jeff and excellent detail - I like it a lot!!

[Jody Melanson]

Agree about more light on the face. Great pose and details...

[Fabs Forns]

Very nicely done, just a bit more light in the face.
