Happy Feet!

[Sachin Saraf]

I took this image at Nickerson last month.

Not the best IQ due to OOF FG grass but I liked this one pose and wanted to share with you all...

In PP - Cropped and corrected exposure added selective sharpness and improved the contrast which helped get OOF grass in FG fade a bit...

It's always nice to see a little chick.
Nice pose.
I see some OOF vegetation in the background. Were there some between you and the bird?

Yes Karl there was lot of vegetation between me and bird...

[ChasMcRae]

Considering location of you and the bird did a good job in focusing on the action and we all love chicks.
Whites look pretty good and bird is symmetrical on this straight on look.

The title is perfect! Great fun pose. Too bad about the FG vegetation being in the way, and there are lots of repeating patterns from the cloning there. Image could be punched up with darker blacks.

nice pose I can't see much feather details though maybe because of the tiny size? you can post up to 1024 pixels.

Hi Sachin, well timed to get the wing flap, and I like your low perspective. A central placement was always the way to go, and I would really like to see this 1024 wide. :w3

[Ofer Levy]

Great pose!! Would sharpen a bit more.

[Joe Senzatimore]

As mentioned , image seems a bit flat. Lacks punch/contrast. Love the pose and the low angle.
