Limpkin Stare Down

[Mike Delgado]

Something a little different. I wish I had a little more sun on the right side to even the light on the subject.

Let me know what you think.

Interesting composition here, i like it
May be the right eye lightened in PP may make it pop out more to the degree the left eye is
Over all its a interesting image

Limpkins love to give the stare down! Love the feather detail. The side light isn't bothering me in this case.

I will have to get better at PP. I have LR3 & CS5 just not very good at using them.

I appreciate all the constructive comments.

I am really loving the straight on pose here. It works great in the vertical format.

Could you please tell me what you have your white balance set for in your camera? I am noticing a strong yellow in your last couple of images and it would help to know how you are setting your white balance and how you are saturating your images in PP. Thanks.

Amazing shot, the side lit stare down works well for me. It's unbelievable (for me at least) how close you guys can get to these birds.

Very nice shot.
I digging pose, great background, and nice details.
I really like the side lighting I think it works well.
Well done.
