Very nice balance on this one from the perch to the tail. A great shop, especially for a new one. Do you have a count on birds photographed?
Excellent shot, Ken. I am liking the perch. perfectly exposed and the DOF coverage is very good.
If mine, I'd take a tad off from the top..but not a lot.
Gorgeous bird and excellent exposure. I love the head turn, the bg and the perch.
I'm seeing a bit of noise on the bird - especially the whites on the chest, belly and rump.
Thanks everybody for your comments much appreciated.
Marina,
Sorry I should have mentioned it is a Shrike
Laurie,
I do not keep count of the birds I gave seen, but I do keep reasonable images where I have them so I suppose that is much the same thing. There are lots that I have seen but not got anything remotely like viewable![]()
Awww thats beautiful !!. Exposure is bang on and what a bird !!. Gorgeous sharp details and very clean shot.
All the best Ken, fine shooting.
Danny.
Danny,
Thanks very much for your extremely kind comment
Perfect whites Ken, smooth backdrop and excellent side on profile pose, there is a tiny bit of noise, but you have to look pretty hard to see it...very well done
Very nice shot Ken! The only issue IMO is the noticeable noise on the bird.
I appreciate the comments on the "noise", which I largely think has been caused by the considerable crop around 20% of original.
Can I ask for tips on how to reduce it without noticeably effecting sharpness?
Nice composition and excellent expsoure control and sharpness.
Great shot with a wonderful BG. Very good IQ. The thorny perch is great for a shrike image. Markus
