Taken 12/30/09 at 5 pm in the golden hour. SonyA700, Sony 70-400G @400mm, AP, f5.6, 1/500, iso800 Shot in landcape cropped to portrait, 70% of FF, PP in elements 5: toned down some highlights.
Nice detail , although some hot spots. Good idea with the crop but I would have liked a less busy BG , even though I know it's not always possible.
I like the composition and head angle. I wish the vegetation in the BG were further away and would tone down the highlights more.
Super pose Peter, and a vertical was the only way to go here. I agree the BG could have been better, buy hey, we cant choose their habitat.
