nice image,good detail,nice pose,for me I would like a bit more room left,top,and bottom,and I would clone out the white sky,but still very nice image.thanks.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Lovely sharp image. I would consider adding some space and cloning out the bright sky? Perhaps the image could be a tad brighter? Very good DoF

[Karl Egressy]

Nice DOF and sharpness. The image looks a bit tight. I also woiuld clone out the white at the top if it were mine.

[Wynand van Wyk]

I agree on cloning out the white at the top and giving him a bit more space. Lovely detail and conditions very well handled. Just watch the little dust spot above the tail feathers.

Very well done!:S3:

I too would clone out the sky and add some canvas as it is a bit tight. Still a fine image as is. I also think the dark feel adds to the subjects personallity and would leave it as is.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Nice and sharp, but I feel the image is too tight in the frame, also a bit dark. I see a dust spot above the birds top wing. I would also clone out the sky. TFS Dudley

Excellent bird angle, details and DOF. Pity about the sky. Agree with others that it is too tight and needs to be a bit brighter. I am sure you will get something even better next time.

[Nico Steenberg]

Good exposure with nice details. Good suggestion already given. Nice bg and colours. Well done :S3:

[Dudley Watson]

Thank you all for your input and comments. i have adjusted the image to take into account comments received.Image may need a bit of TLC but is an improvement with extra canvas and no sky.96125

Great repost Dudley, and you certainly captured good detail. You gotta love those GC BG's. :w3
