this is yet another of the "full sun" series. This one had just side stepped to the right and
I caught him in a rather awkward pose, but interesting IMO. That high light shined
right down through the eye
400mm, ISO 800, f/8, -1EV....taken 11:58, just before noon

thanks for looking and continued critique
Unbelievable detail! excellent image! it really pops against that dark background!
Fantastic image Dave,
The detail are great and the pose is a winner...congrats...:cool:
Hi David,
A very nice elegant pose and lovely exposure control. Excellent details as well.
Keep up the good work!
Dave,
The pose is outstanding. The sharpness is excellent and you nailed the exposure in a very difficult situation.
Some food for thought, fill flash would have filled in the shadows on the face. At 400mm ,a flash with a Better Burner, I mean Beamer on high speed sync should do the job.
I would like to see the rest of the ripple on the bottom right of the frame.
Thanks for sharing,
James
Excellent critiques above.
I never shoot birds on this light conditions, because I never get a keeper, you have no problems handling the exposure. Love the pose.
You handled the harsh light well, pose and setting are great, too. It looks as if S/H or curves resulted in some noise in the shadows and I would clone out the bright spot at the lower corner of the eye. I agree with James regarding a wider crop.
Everything has been said but I will just add GORGEOUS image Dave. The exposure and detail is awesome !!!
Nice exposure, colors, and detail. I like the way the rippled reflection breaks up the smoothness of the rest of the BG. Although I find the spot from the light shining through the eye interesting, I 'd remove it.
Steve
thanks you all for the input.....suggestions noted
and James, I don't own a flash.....yet!!
