    Winchat female


    This bird is actually one of my favourites. There was only one of them. The male is more beautiful, but I was very happy to get the female so close. Taken with Canon 350D with Sigma AF 50-500mm F4-6.3 EX DG HSM APO. AV ISO 200 f.8 with 1/400 -0,33

    Beautiful picture like the clean BKGR and the sharpness here.

    While I am not a big fan of over the shoulder poses this one is really well done. Great SH, BKGR, and us of d-of as well as a perfect head turn. I like the rosy throat. Love the grass stalk on our left but the one right behind the bird is a distraction.

    Very nice light and a nice smooth BG.

    I would selectively sharpen up the head a little, in addition to the eye.

    As good an over-the-shoulder pose you could hope for. What is that pink dot on the perch below the foot? Too bad about the whitewash (?).

    I really like the image, but the frame is little distracting.
