    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.

    Canon R5
    600mm (bare)
    Handheld
    ISO 1600
    f7.1
    1/6400

    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.

    Hi Brian ... what to say about this gorgeous frame .
    Amanda is looking great in the frame , IMHO . Pose on the money ....
    Just think she has used a tiny bit to much contrast in her make up ..... she has clipped the darks for a more heavy look . So I would suggest to her .... go a little less heavy in the whites and the darks , for a more elegant look .

    Love the frame , TFS Andreas

    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.

    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.
