Hi everyone! It has been a while since my last post. Here's a shot from today, I am living for Tierra del Fuego (Patagonia Argentina) for a couple of weeks so I wanted to leave you something to remind me ;)
Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Whats not to like with this one Ramon! Comp, exposure and detail look good. If anything I might tone down the bg slightly. TFS

What a great looking bird. Nicely exposed and the detail around the eye is perfect.

[Hendri Venter]

Fantastic image of this lovely bird. Pin sharp where it needs be and a nice bright eye.

beautiful shot Ramon, like the perch BG and SH. Might be tempted to darken the bright spots in BG.

Hola amigo! Take care and enjoy your time there. :)

Wonderful image, great BG despite the few light spots ( I am not at all bothered) and love that crest!

Ramon, I like the colors and pose. Beautiful eyes and feather detail.

Hey, Ramon. Looks great. Fantastic job composing this one, and exposure looks right on.

Cheers,

Great looking bird, I like the attitude...
BG light patches bit distracting, could you tone them down a bit?

Have fun in Patagonia. That is one of the places that I learned about
as a kid and always wanted to visit, some day....

Hi Ramon lovely pose and colours. Well exposed with great detail

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Ramon....a beautiful shot. really really pretty. Loved the light, exposure and the bird...but to me, its the bokeh that takes it to another level. good call on the aperture. full-frame with 300mm and 1.3 crop. You must have been really close.

What an awesome looking bird and perfectly captured Ramon.
