Hi Mirenchu - Agree with Jeff: good composition, and there does seem to be some noise in the bg. The hardest thing may be the direction of the light which isn't lighting the head of the bird. I took the liberty of reworking the image a bit. Hope you don't mind. I am sure you are much better at PS than I am. I ran Levels to set the black point, and moved the center arrow to lighten the whole image. I then selected everything but the bird, and ran Noise Reduction. Then sharpened the bird with USM. It may not be the effect you were looking for however, just suggesting this as an alternative.
Cheers
Gail
Hi Lady Mirenchu,
I like the composition and low capture on this little lady. She has a good head angle and good eye contact. I see a little noise in the background, and easy fix. In addition you need to open up the area around the eye, because its a little dark, and selective sharpen it. I would prefer a happy medium in between your original and Gail's repost as far as lighting goes. I like this...good show...:cool:
