Black Phoebe

[Luis Villablanca]

This fellow decided to pose for me in the morning.


Black Phoebe
Shoreline Lake, CA

Canon 7D + 500L + 1.4x TC, tripod
1/1600, f/8, ISO 800, Manual exposure
Processed in LR + PS3, cloned out a couple of leaves sticking out behind the tail, cropped to mp and resized.

C&C are welcome.

Luis:

Sharp, well exposed, nice head angle, attractive background. I like being able to see some iris detail.

Cheers

Excellent sharpness, pose and background. Agree with Randy on the detail in the eye.

If it were mine, I would have removed the leaf over the tail and the resulting shadow caused by it.

I find the OOF plant material in the background distracting.

Thanks Randy and Jim. Here is a repost based on your suggestions:

Very nice Luis, detail and exposure very good. I would be tempted to clone out the leaf that is blocking the tail and some of the OOF veggies. Nicely done.

I like the RP, nice pose, good light and BG...
