This is so very artistic, Joe! Just love the high key effect and your perfect techs. I've never printed or framed a bird photo, but if I had something like this, I would.
A great choice for our theme this month. I thought the thumbnail looked very promising, and the actual image didn't disappoint! The sense of action, different poses, high key water, good dof, all good.
Yes, wish the center bird was more our way, but the overall effect is very good.
This is a winner in my opinion, great high key shot, three birds, reflections and wings raised on the centre bird, it has everything. Bet it would look great as a large canvas on your wall.
