Well captured! Perfect HA here and I like the overall composition and FFD here. I'm ok with the perch, but can see others needing more focus there. Cheers.
Hi Jon .... a real peach !!!!
You managed to have a superb view at the eye ball .. really cool .
Perch is cool , albeit being a bit competing with the subject , might try to lower the saturation of the yellows a fraction and see if that helps .
Beautiful view, Jonathan! Eye contact is great, and the diffuse BG is perfect. Lichen adds interest as well. Focus looks sharpest on shoulder, so I might add a touch more sharpening on the face. But that's pretty minor.
Thanks to everyone for your comments. Andreas - lowering the yellows does indeed work, I did do that but for some reason I posted the version with bolder yellows, I thought I used to be decisive, now I am not so sure!
