The head angle is def. better on this one. Well exposed with nice detail in the near wing. Background colors are complimentary to the browns in the bird.
The eye could stand a bit more sharpening.
Although I really love the detail in the wing, it would be even better in full downstroke, which would show more of the far wing as well.
I like the light in this, with great detail on the heron. Randy is spot on wishing for the downstroke of the wing, and I would maybe take some off the top. Still, well captured Chris.
Better head angle, but agree with the others about wing position. If I had to choose, I'd go for the one with good wing position and a less than perfect head angle
Hi,Chris.
Superb pose with a dynamic backround.I really like the multicolored reflection on the top.
It makes the image much more intresting and lively in my opinion,than with a monocolored BG.
Thanks for all the comments. Yep I have to agree on the wing position on the previous post however I like the way the wing blend in with the water colours here. And yep I have a shot with the same head angle and the wing fully down. Thanks again everyone
Love the SHARPNESS and the HA. Did not see the first post but I do like this one. A PANO crop with some off of the bottom might strengthen it.
