Hi Dennis - like the pose and the eggs visible, you have a good HA and clearly visible eye. Well Done.

Some of your whites are pusing 255 in a few places - just need to tone them down a fraction with a multiply layer (See educational resources forum) Your bird also looks like he could use a tad more sharpening especially in the head/eye area.

Keep em coming :)

Hi Dennis,
Fancy seeing you back in the forum...:) I like the capture and the composition...very good advise given by Mr. Peters... I would clone out the thin diagonal reed in front of your bird, my eye keeps going there...good job...looking forward to seeing more...:cool:

Dennis, Great advice given already,I'll just add that I like the whispy feathers and the HA is great, the eggs make it SPECIAL!
