Pratincole

[Lesley van Loo]

hereby a portrait of a Pratincole, this was a bird I really hoped to photograph, more of this bird on www.ltdphoto.com

exif: iso 200, F8, 1/640

[Doug Brown]

Nice eye detail, with good sharpness overal. BG compliments the bird nicely. I'd add some canvas up top and take a little off the left (might even go with a vertical crop here). Thanks for posting!

Nice Portrait, Lesley. I have tried a slight crop and agree with Doug about maybe adding some room on top - slight localised eye adjustments with curves and sharpening and a mild contrast boost to the whole image. Colours are lovely and BG complements plumage well. The eye and splash of colour from the beak are nice focal points

I like the orig post better, love the pose, the lighrt, the detail and color, BG goes great with the bird too! Congratulatuons!

I like the composition, details, head position and the background. A tight vertical composition would also work.

Very nice portrait. The clean bg is complimentary. I think the image works as either a horizontal or a vertical. Agree that a bit more canvas on the top is needed in either case. You certainly have some beautiful images on your website!
