Beautiful light and great focus on the eye, John. Would love to see a bit more DOF to get more of the beak and neck in focus. Closing down
to get that extra DOF is something I often forget to do in the moment, especially on headshots!
Hi John,
Nice detail on the eye. That is one long bill... Nice BG. More DOF to get more of the bill sharp would have been beneficial.
Allen
I like for the sharpness and the sweet light and the near bird that is likely one year old. I disagree respectfully with both Allen and Dorian because if you went to a smaller aperture you would destroy the soft background ...
with love, artie
I too like to stop down for close up portraits, but only when I have a smooth and rather uniform BG for the reason Artie states. The subject is very nice, but I really love the grasses in lower right corner - they ad lots here.
I should have mentioned above that the problem with stopping down for this image is that the background is relatively close ... I will stop down for head portraits with distant or plain backgrounds.
with love, artie
