Amazing!!
Excellent pose, sharpness with a relatively smooth BG.
If you can a little more canvas to the bottom it would be great.
Lovely alert pose, especially the open beak and raised foot. Agree with a bit more room, especially below. Light looks a bit harsh with some hot whites that may be recoverable in raw conversion. A touch more contrast may add to the image. I really like the BG but it could use a pass of noise reduction and I would clean up some of the white bits sticking to the beak if that suits your ethic. All in all a very nice image.
cool shot! I agree with some bg noise reduction.
That guy is doing his Ruddy Duck tail lift impersonation!
In all seriousness, a very fine image! The alert pose and feather detail are good. Maybe pull the RAW back in and dial down the hotspot on the neck and smaller one on the chest. Wish it was my image.
Bill,
I like this one. Lovely. The background is uniform and nice. The raised foot is superb. The feathers in its crown gives a nice look. Little bit more room at the bottom would have been nice. But I wont fret over it.
