Well, this is an image that Artie knows, he recommended me to crop the bottom a little. Any help or hint is more than welcome.

Canon 30D
Canon 35-350@350
Tripod
f/9
1/60
ISO 320
Aperture Priority
A little crop
No flash

Hi Juan Carlos. I like the composition and the soft light here but I think that some fill flash would help to improve the image. I suggest to rework the image and apply the noise reduction filter only to the background in order o preserve the fin details on the plumage that looks soft. A very nice image IMO.

Fully agree with Juan Very good points Particularly the use of fill flash Would have helped with both filling and sharpening !!! Very little detail in the dark area of the near wing and perch !!! I like the pose and bg very much !!!!

Excellent portrait. Some FF would have helped for sure.

Of course, just let me found some free time and I will send you details about how you can do it. If I do not do that, please feel free to remind me about it ;)

Juan Carlos, voy a poner un post en el foro en español con detalles sobre la técnica.
