Hi Jeni,
I like the composition and capture, I recommend on opening up the mid-tones in the head area just a tad, and desaturate or tone down the white spots in the background, and give it a pass of noise reduction...good show...I like it...:cool:
Hi Jenii - agree with Gus's critique, he pretty much nailed it. Not sure about the HA - I can remember Artie telling me on one of my posts, that for preening images the head had to be parralell to the sensor.
Gorgeous bird - really like the colours and the pose - bit tight at the bottom tail only just fits in - can see why you wouldn't want to include more though - big perch.
Great shot, love the size of his bill. You do a great job with framing and giving the scene balance. I might even out BR a tad, like Gus said, maybe minimize white spots.
Thank you all, appreciate the advice.:D
Re Gus - I have brushed in lightly to cover the white areas though don't want to smooth out too much here - I like the contrast in bg; have opened up midtones on head and run NR.:)
Re Lance - Tail was tight but it's full frame so when I took it I had a choice of leaving more below or less above the head and I thought to leave more space for the head like it would be if the head was lifted normally.
Better?
