    Beautiful setting. Good pose. We had up to six of these guys visit our back yard last week - the first time that has happened in 40 years - and one was still hanging around as of yesterday, partaking of our water bowl. But I don't have the sweet setting that you got there at Montezuma. Good work.

    This reminds me of a Daniel Cadieux. Awesome canvas, my friend. TFS

    This is excellent John.
    I love the pretty flower setting .
    Your placement of the bird within the frame is really nice.
    IQ is excellent and I also like the little bits of pollen on the head.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Hi John, lovely image and I really like the framing here, well done. Overall I just think it needs a little bit more oomph to pull a bit more detail and depth out. You know what to do as we have covered this quite a few times in Wildlife as you use LR.

    Hope this helps, well done.

    Brian, it’s generally through LR filters as John uses LR, then in PS Using curves and a Channel Levels adjustment, that simple, you have it all in C1, layers & limo masks and I believe you are also using TK too. It’s basically Contrast based adjustments, but masking the subject. Best to swing by Wildlife every now and then.
