Mourning dove

[massimomossi]

Hello,

Haven't posted in a while: a combination of camera-to-computer problems had me completely tied up.

Here is a recent picture, hope you like it.

Olympus SP-570UZ; ISO 100, 92 mm zoom, 1/200 sec, f4.5. No major editing in PSE7: a bit of cropping, general sharpening, clarity adjustment.

Thanks for looking, and comments always welcome.

good to see you back, massimo. a little extra room on the bottom would strengthen it i think? another round of sharpening to the eye area may help also. you got a nice light angle, just wished the bg was a little cleaner.

Hi Massimo,
Welcome back...I like the image and pano crop composition. You have a good head angle and eye contact. The color rendition is good...I too agree on giving the subject more feet room, it's a tad tight on the bottom. Also would selective sharpen the eye...the background does not bother me...good show...looking forward to more...:cool:

Critique has been nailed !!! Fully agree !!! As presented you might be able to blur the bg and still make it look normal ... hard to tell the distance to the bg so can blur a lot !! Excellent !!!

Ill second that - critique nailed - looking forward to seeing more.
