Very nice. The light allowed for wonderful detail in both the dark and light areas. The eye of course is great. Sharpness is good for me, stem to stern. Great feet too.
Perhaps the smallest amount too tight for me, but since he is already crouched down, its just a matter of taste.
Great details and the soft light really helped here. I also like the pose and might give it a bit more room if you have. In the upper left is some darker diagonal line, maybe an OOF branch?
thank you for input friends, and yes Axel that is an oof branch.....should have fixed it.
And Stuart, a bit more direct light would have made some small shadow to enhance detail,
but I love the 50+ keeper images I have
I like this image a lot, Dave. The pose, even light, sharpness, and clean fore- and background make this a winner. I don't seem to have much luck with these guys. :(
