Thanks for taking a look and comments on my last post.

Very nice indeed, I would perhaps tone down the brighter pebbles, super detail in the bird.

[keith mitchell]

Thanks Jonathan.

Great deatil and nice lighting, I don't mind the lighter pebbles so a personal choice. Maybe selectively sharpen the tail.

[William Dickson]

Well done Keith. Great image of the bird. The colours on the bird aswell as the sharpness are perfect. I wish we got them up here

[gail bisson]

The bird look great. Excellent feather detail.
Perfect head turn and the yellows look great.
I just wish for a lower POV which may not have been possible.
I would clone out the little bit of "stuff" on the upper bill.
I see a circular linear line to the left of the bird and just above the head. If these are cloning artifacts I would clean those up as well,

Excellent frame, Keith! Love that pose, colors and the feather details. Perfect exposure and HA. Very well done!

Thanks to you all much appreciated, Gail pleased you spotted my efforts at cloning ,a mate told me about( content aware fill) which works well but I must remember to tidy up after using it, think I might do more harm than good trying to take that bit off the beak .

Thanks Keith.

Keith it's easy peasy make a mask of the bill, invert selection, then clone ...... or even try the heal tool first off it very often works.

[keith mitchell]

Thanks Jonathan, will message you if that's ok.

I like the POV. Any lower and the front foot wood disappear behind the pebbles.The framing and color are spot on. well done.

Thanks Ed, this is from my little pool set up so I can get down really low.
