my only expectation with this frame is to clone out that green part on top of the frame or crop out. rest you have done extremely gr8 work and the molting phase of this ruff looks beautiful too :)

Man, I had no idea Ruff's could have so much white on them!! Perhaps a little bit more sharpnening for web presentation, and it would have been nice for this guy to turn its head a bit more towards you...

Interesting plumage, the reflection adds to it. I would give it more room on the right and tone down the whites. The image were even stronger if the head were parallel to the sensor and if there were no green stripe at the top.

I didn't know they were that white, either..but Sibley's does show a "White" variant Ruff...nice image thanks for hsowing

Good shot like the reflection and sleepy mood of the bird
