Sorry for the limits of the frame but it`s all white!
A beautiful image, Manos. I love the backlighting. As was suggested to me by someone on a previous post, a border would help define the frame.
Walking in heaven !
I think this is marvelous, Manos! Love the step, the backlighting, and the high key presentation!! Very striking!
Very nice high key image. I like the striding pose and soft light shining through the feathers. A frame would help this presentation.
To be honest--without any detail in the background it looks like a Photoshop selection ready to be pasted. The bird taken on it's own is great, but your overall composition just doesn't exist. A frame would help or move in closer--again with a frame. Was there absolutely zero detail that you could recover?
Hi Manos,
To be honest, I love really this. Added a stroke frame below. What was the BKGR? Love the sharpness of the face and the green lores and the soft backlight...

I love this high key image! Ghostly. Agree about a tiny black stroke around the frame.
Thanks a lot for the kind comments!
Maestro you find exactly the limits!
Manos,

What was the BKGR?

The BKGR was sea and the backlighting was first morning light!

Love it !
Fantastic use of backlighting and a great pose !
Very artistic :)...like everything about it!
agree about borders!
Stunning! I wouldn't want any bg visible... And when presented on a non-white background (or in a frame when printed), it would be really amazing!
