Hi David, I like this image. I too like the angle. I also like the feel it gives me with the out of focus bit on the left and the bird looking down into the canon/ravine. This perspective almost gives me vertigo. I think the details in the bird are good and sharp. I like the overall composition. The vertical that the bird’s line of sight gives enhances the image. My only question is if you could have boosted the yellows a bit the feet seem a bit dull to me.
Such a beautiful pose in this capture and a stunning composition. Really wonderful work David with excellent color, detail and eye contact. Love it !!!! I am leaving for Niagara Fals on the 20th for a wedding and would love the opportunity of seeing this beauty !!!
Very nicely done. Love the look-down head angle but wish that the very tip of the bill were visible. Blurring the distant BKGR might be an option for some.
