Yes it is centered and maybe a little tight in the frame. Had to work hard at getting the background.

Selectively sharpend a little.

Thanks - comments appreciated.

Great details and very nice soft light and eye contact. I find the perch a bit dominant but there is not much you could have done about it. I might clone out the spots in the upper left and right.

Good composition Lance,
I would add just a tad of canvas on the bottom so that the tail is not too tight in the frame. Also I would have liked to have seen Mr. bird with just a slight more head turn towards you...I don't mind the perch...It is what it is...:D Congrats buddy...:cool:

Great capture Lance and lovely exposure and detail I would like to see a tad more canvas to the right and on the bottom. Very nice image !!

Very nice bird, what species is it?
If this is something that you do, cropping left and adding canvas tight and bottom would solve the issues. Agree on cleaning the BG.

Hi Fabs -this is a Kookaburra, native to Australia - sometimes called the laughing Kookaburra due to it's call.


Thanks

Lance

It is a relative of kingfishers.
