Still chasing that studio look....

Sharpened and cropped - thought about getting rid of the poop.... bit tight LHS ( No time to go back and redo - just now.)

Comments welcome

Hi Lance,
Great shot! You didn't even have to put in very much EC which surprised me. Brought out the details in the feathers a bit more and a few other tweaks. Just some ideas.

Lance:
You have excellent details considering the 2x converter.I like it as presented (even with the poop).
Excellent background also.
Congrats

Lance, I like everything about it but I would probably remove poop- since it's such a majestic portrait- great shot. I wish it were mine.

Amazed at the results with that lens and tele !!! Plus lots of magnification with the slow shutter speed !!! Neat !!!

I like the re post Enhancement have made a difference. Good pose and basic exposure, might add a little canvas at the back and love the ambiance on the rock !!! :)
