Hi and welcome, know these characters well, and from what i can gather they exist in a lot more countries than just Australia. Lovely pose and detail, just a few bright spots here and there likely from harsh light
Hey Kevin, welcome to BPN!! I love the low angle perspective you got here, nice colours and sharp details. The harsh light and light angle did not help you here, exposed best you could but creating quite a contrasty setting and very bright highlights on the grass, bill and legs. Vertical was the way to go with this pose but I feel leaving a bit more breathing room all around would have helped with the flow of the comp. For subsequent posts don't forget to include exif as it helps with critiquing and with providing suggestions if needed
