Hi Glenn, Gorgeous image as per usual! Nice comp in the inverted V in the branches, great details, and pose. I would be tempted to go a wee bit brighter.
Nice photo with the bird's pose, sharpness; BG, perch. You could experiment with cloning out one or two branches, but I like it as it is. Congratulations.
Ther is no way I would clone out either branch....I feel like that is what makes the image special and more than just a boring bird on a stick shot... But thats just my 2c
I would not clone out any of the top branches either...they are important and well placed framing elements in the composition. If I had any wish it would be for the bill to be open wider, but man this is sweet :-)
uhhh yeah, I wouldn't clone anything out of this image. You have a beauty here. These Tamaracks make great trees for photographing birds on. Big congrats on a cool bird!
Hi Glenn,
Perfect framing in my opinion! Love the placement of the twigs! The pose and headturn are great as well. I am not too sure about the contrast, the shot looks a bit flat. Maybe increasing the midtone contrast or saturation a bit would help???? Anyway excellent shot!
