Nice wing position, and details. The water droplets on the wing and off the wing adds dynamics, Bill.
Lovely image Bill. The pose is great and I really like the colours of the water and background. The IQ looks very good for ISO 1000. Have you done some noise reduction as I always seem to have more noise at ISO 1000 with my D7000?
I like the open wings, and the horizontal lines to the BG. Neat water drops, with some even casting a shadow on the wings...very cool. The lack of a catchlight or reflection in the eye is a bit of a bummer for me, but that light direction made it difficult to get that in.
Very nice image. Love those water drops! I would had try adding a bit mor vibrance to the colors. I think it would give the image a bit more pop.
A lovely image Bill--great detail and focus on the underwing feathers and the waterdrops
Hi Bill, good low angle of capture, and well timed to show the wingspread. Great feather detail on the underwings, sharp, and I do like the water reflection on the belly.
Like bird pose, moment and light. BG is noise free. Would like to see a bit more details and as mentioned by Raybel a bit more vibrance. TFS.
Cheers,
Miro
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
Daniel, that lack of catchlight bothered me too. Not much I can do about it.
Iain, I almost always run Topaz Denoise on the background. I didn't run it on the bird.
Raybel and Miro, here's a repost that may have just a bit more vibrance and detail.
Hi Bill. Repost looks better. Maybe you can try to darken a bit BG. TFS.
Cheers,
Miro
I like the RP better Bill and I really like the wing position and the details in them. Nice green BG too. The HA is not the best but what can ya do. Well done
