Pika, round 2

[Dorian Anderson]

Another one from my weekend in Keystone, CO, but a different individual this time.

This image was capture a bit later than the previous; hence the colors aren't as warm.

I could prolly do a bit of NR on the BG, but that's not gonna improve the image dramatically.

Hi Dorian ... a fine image of the Pika with a very nice IQ !!!
All works for me in general , albeit the perch is quite dominant due to it´s size .
Personally i might burn the perch a fair bit .... but use a luminosity mask to darken not globally .

Very nice overall !!!

Hello Dorian,

I like this even more than your last post of the Pika. To me the perch - although a tad dominant - just emphasises the size - or the 'smallness'- of the subject
Do agree with Andreas above, I would reduce the brightness in places on the perch...whether by burning or other means.
Love the pose of the Pika as well as the clean BG, nice colours too. Super cute and I enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for sharing!

Kind regards,

Wonderful eye catching simplicity to this image. All the techs are spot on imho. Love the image
