Hi Jeff,
I like the image and capture...you display fine feather details, a rear head turn with a sharp eye, and I like the spread wing pose...only suggestion would be to crop a little from the top and from the right side of your frame...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

[Jeff Cashdollar]

I put a tighter crop per Gus's suggestion

[Lance Peters]

Repost definetly works better Jeff - Nice details in the blacks - Good HA and eye contact.
Congrats - nice job.

[Gus Cobos]

Way to go Jeff...it's right on the money now...good show...:D:cool:

Crop looks mighty fine Beep !!! btw did you do anything with the density ... looks a little darker which I like .. maybe it was just an "optional illusion" Those birds are fairly dark !!

[Jeff Cashdollar]

Al,

I did not, not sure I know how to adjust density. I went into curves and applied some contrast, then removed it, made the image too dark.

Oh,..I did add +3 blk and +3 neutral gray in color selection menu.

[Bob Miller]

Hi jeff...The crop sure makes a difference! You might consider darkening the bottom edge just a little.

[Christopher Miller]

Great pose, Jeff, and the crop looks much better! Well done.

Hi Jeff

Was just thinking in increasing density to mid tones Those birds normally don't looks as light .. at least he ones we have down here !!!
