One more from Tuesday AM at Damariscotta Mills,Maine - This with a 30D and 70-200 f2.8 at 200mm - iso 320, ME at 1/2000 - f6.3, AIservo, spot meter, handheld. Bob
Hi Bob very unusual perspective, effective because of the wing position. It could go a little lighter for my taste, maybe a bit of Shadow Highlight. The inclusion of green adds to the composition.
Cool pose but the eye is both dark and unsharp. You might take some blue out of the sky (Hue/SAT). Lastly, you can make a Quick Mask of the trees and do a 20-30 pixel Gaussian blur to soften them up.
