Joe, very creative and I salute that in the highest my friend.
Beautiful canvas with the beautiful, smooth transitions across. So lovely.
Subject looks good, but I see a slight halo above the beak... perhaps from masking?
Only other suggestion would be to keep everything from the top down in its current location, but go to a more traditional 2x3 and cut the bottom section, reducing that final light blue strip a bit.
Well shown, nice work Joe!
Hi Joe .... very nice concept shot .
I do like the very " off central " placement of the subject .
In terms of color and contrast I think it is a tiny bit too strong ... way to strong to be honest , IMHO.
The halo that Brian is referring to ... is not masking related IMO . The halo is all round the bird .. albeit being narrower in some other parts .
Cool shot ... which I personally would just edit with more finesse , rather than hammering it with color and contrast , just my 2 cents .

This is very nice small bird in the frame image... the bird looks great and the colors are excellent.
Looks like art. Nice job on the framing. Very nice.
Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting, much appreciated. Here is a edit, I removed the halo around the bill and eliminated the contrast I had added. I think it addresses the suggestions made by Brian and Andreas. Thanks again...
Hi Joe ... looks better to me :bg3:
Just for my interest , which plugin or filter is creating that halo and high contrast ??? As the next posting does have the same haloing ....
Cheers Andreas
Good being right on sun angle. I like this one a lot better than the Sanderling. Love the image design and the strips of blue and brown. It needs a bit more off the bottom to get to Sump Scores' suggested crop. The BLUEs look a bit too electric to me.
with love, artie
Of course I am right on the light angle, some guy name Artie Morris taught me that. The blues became more saturated when posted, not sure why. I will check out Sump Score's crop. Thank you for commenting, Artie.Quote:
