Spoonie Me too

I thought I'd step up with a spoonie of my own :p

Love the colors and the action. I would crop to remove the lone spot to the left of the tree.

AJ:

Very nice,lighting, wing position, foot position, sharpness. I like the perch which vaguely mimics the shape of the foot. Agree about removing the small green blob on bottom edge.

I am curious how many spoonies you saw at Gatorland. Multiple opportunities?

Cheers

What a dynamic pose...check out those outstretched toes!! Cool wing position too. Rather than cropping the spot out I would clone it out as I like the amount of space you have below and wouldn't want to shrink it. I'm wishing the OOF stuff in LRC was not as big and as close to the perch as now.

I love the pose with the outstretched wings and toes. Your lighting, sharpness, details and colors are excellent. I would recommend cropping some off the right side as this empty space doesn't seem to add anything to the photo. You might also try running some NR on the BG. Congratulations on freezing this one in flight.

Love the pose, very 3D, great light, comp and action, good detail, sharpness and exposure, I would give it another round of NR, but that´s preety much it for me. COngratulations!

Great shot, I'd get rid of the greens on the right and run some NR to eliminate the noise, very nice pose :)
