    Default Cattle's Portrait

    Hi

    I personally like the plumage & warm light of early morning. The distance was so close, So I decided to shoot some portraits.
    Cropped from horizontal to vertical.

    Bamdej wetland, Ahvaz, South west of IRAN.






    Wish you like it.

    Great plumage on this one. A slight blur on the BG would add to this image.

    Sweet light and perfect HA. The plumage indeed looks great and so does your exp and sharpness. Would run NR on the bg and move the bird further up in the frame - it seems a bit top heavy. TFS.

    Hi Mohsen,
    I agree with the above critiques.
    I would do some NR on the BG and take some off the top or add to the bottom.
    Lovely light and the bird looks great,

    The light is nice and I also like the plumage. BG could use some NR for sure

    Lovely portrait but it would be even better with a new crop. Too much on top for me.

    Love the colors, background and detail in the whites. Some NR on the bg would be great!

    I agree with the crop suggestions. Beautiful image would be even stronger for me with a little more detail in the whites.

    Nice exposure on the whites, though I think a little grainy, would also crop a little from the top and apply more noise reduction to the backdrop
