Coming Home

[Michael Pancier]

I seem convinced that the birds conspire to slow down behavior when I go out shooting. Waited for hours at Wako until finally one of the GBH's decided to do a fly in.

manual mode +1 off blue sky

I darkened the sky in PS CS 4 using Nik Viveza.

How's the sky blue look? Should I trim some from the left?

[Tony Whitehead]

Dramatic colours and pose - almost has an HDR look to it. There are some dust bunnies that could use healing.

[Stu Bowie]

Comp works well, and lovely landing posture captured in this. You have managed to show up the detail under the wing nicely. Well done Michael.

[Bogdan Coltea]

Excellent timing and composition.
The colors and tones look a bit off and unnatural on my monitor.
Perhaps too much S/H in Photoshop?

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Pose and details look great. The sky and whites don't look right on my monitor.

Wing position detail and clarity look great Michael, but the colors look a little funky on my monitor as well
all and all very nicely done. Hope all is well Michael.
