You nailed this one Fabs ... behavior, bg, crop and a smoking bird !!! Big Congrats !!!
Cool pose, details, exposure control and BG.
Great portrait shot with nice background. Love the open beak.
Great light, HA, yawn, and I love those streaks in the head plumage. Super portrait Fabs. :)
Pin, pin sharp, against an amazing coloured BG. I feel the OOF wing doesnt add to the image, and I would maybe crop it out Fabs.
Nice! Quite an irrational exuberance I would say...:)
Cheers, Ilija
Terrific! Great moment captured Fabs! I love it, I would try croping from the bottom to eliminate the OOF wing as I find it s little bit distracting, still, great, GREAT shot, BG, light, pose, detail, exposure, all is great IMO. COngratulaitons!
I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty to retouch the shot and remove the wing :)
I like the DOF on this Fabs. Very nice work.
Thanks, Ramon, Someone else had the same idea, but I think the wing connect the head to the missing body.Originally Posted by ramón casares
Of course, all subjective :)
Thanks, everyone!
I like it loads as is and agree with fabs. Great exposure detail and bg well done
The moment was fleeting and you captured it so perfectly!! I can't get enough of the open beak and all the details from the flap of skin below the mouth to the breeding plumage on the head. Excellent job.
