    Nice lookback pose on a rather homely but necessary bird! Good detail and depth of field on the whole bird, and I like the perch (and the fact that it doesn't take up much room in the frame), along with the empty space in the nostril. Nice shot.

    If you had taken one more step to your right and used a left hand AF point the image would have been stronger. Why?

    I have thought about your question. As I play you question in my mind I think it would have moved the bird more to the left in the frame. Here is a repost with the bird moved more to the left. I added a little canvas on the right side.

    Good job on the repost and yes, that is where I was going. By moving right in the field and picking a left-hand AF point you could have placed the bird on the left and the tree on the right for perfect compositional balance. With the soft light t=moving would not have been a problem and would have been a lot less work.

    with love, artie

    ps: in Pane 12 the bird and the tree are a bit too centered ...

    Hi Joe,

    Good capture, and I prefer the original exposure (bit richer), and I agree with moving the bird left, keeping the original crop.

    That would not be done easily. That is why I suggested simply moving one yard to the right from the get go. It is basically an exercising in realizing how we can re-orient various elements in an image by changing our perspective. Lots of folks have trouble doing that ...

    Nice view of this tv. The look back pose makes this one. This would have made a nice vertical.
