    Hi Fabs,
    I love this type of image, the OOF FG gives a dreamy feel to the picture.

    I agree with Adams. I love this one alot!! Looks like a desert sand storm passing through :-) I know you prefer lower contrast but I would be tempted to add just a bit here.

    Cute little guy and great details and angle. Was it stormy? I'm wondering what it would look like with a slightly lower color temperature.

    Cuteness factor 10/10. Lovely soft light and colours, and well exposed too. Great image Fabs.

    Love the low angle "in heaven" look. A real killer for sure. Wish only that the eye were opened a bit wider.

    IOTW!!! Very well done! If I were down in Florida these are exactly the type of images I would be working on, just wonderful! I'm a clone guy, so with that being said I might clean up the beak... nothing major.

    Fabs I cammented on this image in FN but I can resist to write another post here because I relly love this one. Fantastic in this sweet scene and terrific low angle. I will not change a single pixel in this file my friend.
    By the way, you did very well devoting this image to África, the young photgrapher girl in FN, I think that is a very encouraging detail her. Way to go!
