The eye contact is really nice Loukie! The perch and BG work well also. I just wish the lighting were a little more even, and not casting shadows on the bird.
Lovely. I agree with Doug. However, due to the lighting ie. left half of the head is dark and the right eye is lighted; automatically it catches our attention. Nice.
I really like the warm light and the eye contact!
Very nice image, Loukie. Lovely, perch, BG and feather textures. Doug's comment re the shadows is the only issue I can see. Fill flash may have been an option.
Great find, details, BG and eye contact. The shadows on the back have been mentioned.
Nice eye contact and sharpness. The nits have been mentioned. Well done!
Fill in flash would have helped, shooting at 1000mm and a distance of about 25+ meters I doubt it.
Using a Better Beamer you can often throw a bit of flash far enough to help reduce shadows, Loukie
Cool image.....but I have to agree re. the lighting...
