No really, that's her name. I was introduced to this Goldeneye Hen by my friend Richard. She's feisty and territorial but still a sweetie for letting me take this one.

Handheld

f7.1

LR and PS, very mild DN brushed in the dark areas. Smoothed a couple bkg areas and evicted a few small, bright water spots on her head.

This is outstanding and possibly the best frame you've posted here. Pose, lighting, details, etc are all perfect. I like the amount of color and contrast as they are.

Super thankful for all the positive feedback. Thank you everyone!

I don't know what else to say. But, spot on all around. I'm not going to lie. My favorite part is the mottled background. Don't get me wrong the bird is great on all accounts.

I cannot offer any suggestions on how to improve this.
Tack sharp, great light and wing position.
