    I made this image at Bosque Del Apache NM

    Manual; Matrix metering

    Dodging Shadows

    I would have added more canvas at the bottom but choose not to as it looks just about ok to me.

    Let me know your thoughts and comments.

    Thanks

    Nice classic Bosque photo, bird looks sharp enough, I would have added a bit more space below for sure.

    Lighting is very nice, as is the pose. Dark shadows on hills behind are a bit distracting. The whites on the face still look a bit hot, and the bird does look a bit low in the frame. I understand not wanting to add more canvas. Feels like cheating.....

    Like the downstoke. Really neat colors in the background. More room below wouldn't be to bad.

    I like the image overall with good wing position, light, BG, but the crane is definitely a bit too low in the frame IMO.

    Nice wing position but there are a lot better BKGRs available there.
