great pose, action, and eye contact. You're right, the leaves crossing the body are a distraction, as well as the leaves matching so closely the color of the background. But you gotta love that eye!
Looks good Ed Don't mind that leaf so much Lots of good things to capture my attention.
From the tech side I might have stopped down a little more for dof !! Could tighten the crop from the left a bit since the leafs are cut already Do like the overall feel, fine image !!!
Love the BG - Compliments the bird nicely. Looks like there should be plenty of room to lighten the eye a tad and add a touch of sharpening to it as well.
Good HA - Nice pose - Exposure is good - Well done - like it.
Lance- My PP skills are VERY limited, but I just got Arties Digital Basics and I'm about to dive in!
Alfred- I guess you're right DOF wise, as the BG was so far away it wouldn't have been distracting @ say f/9 or 10. Love you and Fabs website :) Was the whale shot from Newfoundland taken from the cliff @ Cape St. Mary's? We're going ther in 2 weeks and are very excited! Know anywhere to find gray jays on the Avalon peninsula? I'm going to try to come visit the Sunshine State soon and maybe we can get together for some 1 on 1 instruction :)
Hi Ed,
I like the capture and the color rendition is good...you have fine details and your bird is placed well in frame...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Don't worry about the leaf, I find that it adds information about the enviroment where the birds are perched. the background is well blur and without distracting elements so the birds is the perfectly clear. I like the pose.
