He does look cold and fluffy! Funny but a tiny element keeps catching my eye, that little flower in the lower right corner. Looks to me like you could quick mask it and move it into the frame more, if you like it. I do not think that all that oof foregound adds much. Did you crop it at all? Because if you did and have some room, I think you could come up with a stronger composition.
Nice low angle shot, great details in the white. Love the pose and eye contact. Looks like it was cropped to 10x8. 7x5 would work here leaving enough room for the virtual legs.
Hi Stuart: Ditto Grace. That flower really caught my eye. I would crop some off of the bottom and add some to the right if you have it. That would bring more attention to the flower.
You did a great job with exposure on the whites here. Your picture is also tack sharp.
Great job!
Agree with above comments, I'd lose the flower and some of the oof foreground, still, very nice image.
Very very nice. Judging by DOF, seems like close to full frame. I like how the bill, eye and the neck are tack sharp and in focus. I think vertical will look good as well. Well done.
Mike would opt for losing the flower b/c he's a guy. I think the flower kicks this photo up notch. :DOriginally Posted by Mike Godwin
I'm a guy and I really like the flower.
Must be that I'm in touch with my feminine side this evening :)
I might have tried cropping the bottom a bit tighter as I don't think that you need all of the dark green foreground, especially as it sets the birds head too high in the frame relative to the bottom IMHO.
I would have tried to blur the OOF trees a bit more but that's a minor nit.
Sharpness and exposure look great.
