Bad Hair Day (part 1)

Don't know if this is the same guy posing for Gus, but the wind was really doing a number on him that day.

Hi Oscar, I like this image. It made me smile as I find it a humorous:p. The eye makes this image for me the colors and details are great. I am probably not the best to suggest composition but, it feels a little tight to me.

Oscar, This does look like the same guy Gus captured-Very Neat look!!

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Oscar I like the pose and tight crop but looser as suggested by Phil would also work mighty fine.

Color wise there is something strange going on, the bird has a cast and the eye a peculiar color, guessing it could have change with curves? Try fixing and got the body to look more normal but didn't work on the eye. Let me know what you think?

Too funny Oscar. I like the eye area colour which gets really pronounced in breeding season. (all those turquoise dots). Like the repost by Al as the feathers did look blue/black. Lovely BG.

[Gus Cobos]

I like the capture Oscar,
Mr. Forns' repost took care of the blue color cast...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Hi Oz - AL'S repost does the trick - personally feels a little tight to me.
