Great Blue Coming Home

[Michael Pancier]

I think this was the only shot from my Wako shoot 2 weeks ago where I got the GBH in the image without clipping it.

I know I could use more canvas on the left but don't think I have enough there to paste. Shot during the golden hour.

Used 2 passes of noise ninja on the image.

The light and eye contact are great. I agree regarding more canvas, but more importantly, I would sharpen the bird more.
