Love the back ground, also his shadow on his wing! Mostly I am a sucker for that fanned tail.
Yes, the BG is great. :) I like the open bill and fanned tail, the position of the near wing and the strong shadow on the body are not ideal.
It's pretty good Jim. The BG is terrific as is sharpness. The shadow isn't a harsh one and it has an interesting shape. I'd be pleased with this one too.
I kinda liked the shadow :)
Just goes to show you that everyone is different :)
Couldn't agree with you more Jim. I think the shadow works here. Not a big fan of harsh shadows, but this one is soft and has nice lines to it.
Did you work on the BG Jim? I ask because I see what look like clone marks along the bottom of the frame and I find most of the left part a little blotchy (very clone tool-like).
Good point, I hope the vertical lines are due to processing (healing brush?) and not a faulty sensor.Quote:

Do you see the vertical lines in the lower half left and right? I hope it's not the sensor.Quote:

BG, Pose, Exp, sharpness, everything A+ to me! Congratulatons!
