Hi Milt

That is one way to show the image but best to link to the site !! Sending PM now !!

Gorgeous bird and bg Would move some to the right to keep off the center, normally you want more room form the beak to the frame edge than back to frame edge. Colors are saturated, image is sharp and pleasing bg !!! Excellent !!!

Alfred, thank you for your critique of my efforts. It is most appreciated.
I did not receive any PM from you. If it is already sent, please re-send it.

[Alfred Forns]

Will re send Milt !! Let me know

[Milt Berko]

Alfred, PM received. Many thanks.There is no "Manage Attachment" to click on to post a photo. Where is it?

[Harold Davis]

nice looking bird, milt! agree with al on the placement of the bird. the whites look a bit hot to me, too. maybe could recover some detail in ACR?

HI Milt - the eye area looks a little soft to me - could use some additional sharpening - could be that the point of focus was on the back as it does appear to be sharper.
Like the HA and the pose - agree with AL'S Comments.
Keep them coming :)

Hi Milt,
I like the capture, compositional wise, I would off center the bird to the right side of the frame and add canvas to the left...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Alfred, thanks for the info. Cannot try your suggestion as I am limited to one posting every 48 hours. Will try when I can get on line.
