Little Stint

[Carl Day]

Hi All,

Here's one I took last year. A Little Stint. I can't make my mind up whether I like it or not, WDYT?



Canon 7D and Canon 500mm F4 IS + 1.4 - 1/1250s ISO 400 F7.1

Best regards,

Carl.

I do like him. I might pull up the middle of the curve just a bit to help the bird pop out a bit more from the background. I looked at it with a dark BG surround, it it really popped nicely, but with my usual light grey BG, the bird seemed a bit too flat.

There are a couple of faint gray smudges in the RU background that I might stamp out.

Nice shooting angle, head angle too.

Cheers

Randy

Nice bird and nice low angle shot. Agree with Randy's suggestions about making the bird pop a bit. Fill flash might have helped in this light situation. Well done.

Really like the all-around clean look. The yellow in the feathers really pops as well.

Vey nice shot. I really like the pose, exposed very well, great details, and nice shooting angle.
Well done.

Hi Carl, the colours on the Stint do stand out against the high key BG, and I like the hint of ripples around the legs. Great low perspective too.

He looks good...nice study in juvenile plumage. I like the head turned a bit our way. Great low angle too. I agree in raising the midtones, or the overall exposure a tad in post and lighten the reflection in the eye to give it more life.
