Lovely light and BG on this taking off image! The slight wing blur adds to the feeling of motion.
Love the light, the action, the sharpness, and the BKGR. At first I thought it needed more canvas on the left so the bird would have space to fly into, but on second viewing I like the way it is presented. It has a nice rhythm to it.
Johan, love the green BG in this shot and think it compliments the dove nicely. I also like the action you catured. I am still going back and forth over not having more canvas on the left or showing the interesting twig more has more appeal to me. I might have gone the other way with the crop personally, but hard ot say without seeing them next to each other.
Johan, the pose you captured and detail are fantastic as is the light.
Awesome image, and I like the comp as is...I find it nicely balanced. However, maybe a tiny bit more room above, below, and left would give it a bit more breathing room. I'd may opt to see what a version with the yellows desaturated a bit (on the BG only) would look like. Great pose, and the timing on your part was superb.
Well timed for the landing Johan, and I like the light. Comp wise, its a 50/50, but I would move him to the right, and give him more space to look into.
