Papa Prepares Breakfast

[David Roach]

The now famous favorite perch for preparing meals to feed to chicks. Created this morning at Loxahatchee (Just before my shutter died :().

I like the landing posture, and what a pity you didnt capture the right wing extended as the left. Comp works well, and I would sharpen him a bit more. I would also darken the BG a tad too. His food a bonus.

David:

Nice moment captured. Stuart hit the tech. points well.
I suspect the focus point was not on the face, as the wings and perch seem sharper than the eye.

Thanks for sharing.

Dang, we had the alarm set to go this morning but changed our mind :(

We would have gotten to meet you!

Nice view of Pappa. Toning down the whole image would be good. The red eye show nicely :)

Excellent pose and eye contact, looking at histogram it is overexposed a bit and the blacks are too bright, I'd bring it down by 0.7~1EV increase the contrast and redo the sharpening, there are some halos around the wings...

Nice pose, only missing the extended right wing as mentioned above. I have not visit yet the kites this year... I guess is too late now.

Well done, but with the harsher light this one does not have the magic of previous posts made from this killer situation. The framing here is excellent.
