Wonderful shot. Ditto all the positive comments above. Great pose, colors, BG. Just slight evidence of some weed removal in front of the bird. Well done.
Gorgeous. I love the pink iridescence on the head. Sharp, great light, appealing low angle. If anything, I'd look at the slightly "hazy" area on the necks' darkest area - needs to be burned just a touch.
Hey Kevin, Saw this last week and loved it. For the repost, I cleaned up some of the brighter grass stalks, most with Content-Aware Fill. It is superb. Good eye by Dan on the neck; is that how the original looked?
with love, artie
