excellent light pose and nice details, I see a subtle yellowish cast and it would be nice to post 1024 pixels wide

Wonderful shot...Love the soft light and details on this one.

Lovely moment Rudi, like the light and outspread wings. I would agree yellow cast but it still work ok. I would add a bit of canvas on top.

Rudi, good detail on the cormie, and I like the pose. Another great Mankwe BG too. I agree there is a hint of a yellow cast.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice shot agree regards cast, may be tempted to add a little selective colour Blacks>black 3 just to make it pop.

[Satish Ranadive]

Wonderful image.Loved the expression of the bird and great details.

Thanks for viewing and commenting all! Really do not see the yellow cast from where I am!:w3

Lovely warm light and excellent post Rudi. The details and bg are also superb.
If anything, I'd crop just sa bit looser as it seems a bit tight at the top.
Very lovely image. TFS.

Rudi I have desaturated the yellows a little and added a little selective colour to the Blacks>Black 3. Do you see a difference?

[Rudi van den Heever]

Thanks Jonathan - Can see the difference...:e3

But also remember this image was taken in last couple of minutes before sunset and the light itself was golden... trying to keep my images as I saw the seen when taken...:S3:

Lovely image . Like the pose, the perch and the BG. Would have liked a bit more space around the bird . Like the original better for the light .

[Nico Steenberg]

Great detail and exposure with a super pose captured ! Will add a tad of contrast :w3

[Rudi van den Heever]

Appreciated Rakesh and Nico!:w3
