Beautiful detail and very attractive perch, I love the aggressive pose and attitude portraid.
Could you please explain *artificial BG* to me?
Craig.

The "artificial BG" is a big photo of a natural BG placed behind the perch and illuminated by a flash, working at 1/16Originally Posted by Craig Miller
Very strong image Pepe!
Oh wow.. really?!?!
No nit from me on the tech side of this photo, everything done great! But I find the bird too centered. Perhaps a bit better with more room on the left. If it was defending its perch, I think it would also tell a better story if it shows what it was reacting to. Just my two cents.
What Pepe means is that he is using a big print of a BG that he previously photographed. this way he can get images with flashes witout the unpleasant black BG that flash light produces in this kind of images. Hope this helps.
I like the pose of the bird a lot and the sharpness is terrific.
