Great pose and details. It looks a bit undersaturated or was it very foggy?

[Jeff Nadler]

Hi Robert, the display is awesome. You'll think this is wierd after a recent critique of mine, but I agree that this is flat and undersaturated and needs a boost.

Great flight shot,I really like the timing,composition and details!!!

[Robert Amoruso]

I guess it does. Thanks. Repost below.

Way good. I like the first one a bit better as it is less contrasty. You might try multiplying a highlight selected layer to darken the legs. IAC, I love this one.

later and love, artie

ps: You are always welcome to drop in here and do a few critiques:)

Hello Robert, funny, but with this lighting I prefer the original, great pose and detail.

[Robert Amoruso]

Thanks Artie and David. The lighting was overcast and soft so the first one is closer to actual conditions. Looking at them side-by-side, I prefer the first post.

Artie, I noticed the legs looked bad but ran out of time and was going to revisit this weekend. Thanks for suggestion on how to handle it.

Lovely pose, Robert. Plumage look very noisy to me.
