Have been working on getting closer to the birds--this is taken from a blind I've set up in the backyard. I wish he had had his crest up, but he did not stick around long enough, and this was the best of the "session".
Olympus SP-570UZ, 86.3 mm, ISO 64, f/4.4, 1/60sec. Cropped from larger original (all around); selective sharpening of the eye, noise reduction, increased color saturation and contrast, sharpened picture overall.
Hi Massimo,
I like the composition, image and capture. You have a good head angle and good eye contact...my recommendation would be to selective sharpen the eye, and tone down the reds a tad...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Gus is right on with the suggestions Can add I would like seeing the head higher or lower in frame to separate form bg red line !!! Very pleasing image and you will be getting closer !!!
Hi - Agree with Gus also - as mentioned do like the placement in the frame - one thing to remember with diagonal perches is to keep them out of the corners as you have done here.
