Another one in tight quarters. The BG stiff is fairly close and at F16 it shows up pretty well so I blurred it as best I could. I probably should have done some more work on the dark patch to the left of the dragon.

Hey Ken, nice sharp details and good BG.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Ken,
I like the pose and perch but I may tone down the FG leaves a touch....BG isn't too bad but a bit more blur won't hurt.

[Julie Kenward]

I agree with Roman - the BG doesn't bother me as much as the brightness in the FG. Tone that down a bit and this is a really stunning image! Excellent DOF here, Ken!

[Ken Childs]

Now that y'all mention it, the foreground is way too bright.

Thanks for the comments. :)

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice details and DOF, Ken. Love the eye contact. All it needs is some toning down of the FG as mentioned. :)
