oscar, great job!!!! love the bg and the bird looks awesome. i selected some darker areas and brightened them. hope you like it. i may have overcooked that eye. looks like there is a reflection from a flourescent light fixture that is tough to deal with!!

Like what you did with the eye my fried.
Thank you.

Hey Oscar, nice capture, I like Harold's repost, making your subject lighter and defining the eye. I would have liked it if the bird would be looking at you, instesd of away...:cool:

Good comments !!!! If allowed fill flash would have been the ticket to go here !!!!

The head area needed lightening I like the re post Maybe just a little less !!! I had forgotten about those birds at Flamingo Gardens !!!! Neat !!!!
