Nice looking portrait Joe. I like the details and colors in this hen along with the BG color. The eye is mesmerizing and captivating. 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
Yes good preening pose, although I must admit that photographing preening birds from directly behind is not my favorite perspective. Nice details on the upturned feathers. The eye looks great.
I like this.
Great details on the head and eye. Good DOF.
I can't decide if the head is a bit too bright or if the dark feathers at the bottom of the frame trick the eye into believing the head is too bright.
Nice image and neat perspective,
Gail
