This is a very nice looking frame Joseph. The pose and the lighting are really nice and that background adds to the overall image. I might reconsider the composition though and maybe take some off the top and the right a little. Well done
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You. www.davidsalemphotography.com
Nice pose of this little fellow on the reed and great BG, Joe. I'd go for a little tighter crop if it was mine and maybe I would sharpen the head a little less. Well done.
Very nice pose and detail. The suggested crop top and right works for me, or an alternative is to carefully select the reed and lower the saturation a little in a gradient moving away from the bird. I would do both.
Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated. Regarding the crop suggested... I do have a version worked up as suggested, for this posting I added canvas to move the bird to the lower left side. Lightroom having Create Virtual Copy I work up different versions.
