Another Timberdoodle from last week,
I cleaned up few grass stems on the left.
The eye was completely redone due to strong
flash "red eye" effect (completely white and purple in this case).
CC appreciated.
I like the composition and the eye was redone beautifully. I'm getting frustrated, because over the years I have seen countless numbers of these guys, even a few times in daylight, and have yet to get one frame hahah.
Interesting comp, and great work on the eye! Nice low angle, and I like the inquisitive pose. I'm not sure about the remaining OOF grasses at right though...for me they compete for attention. Perhaps just removing (or darkening) the thicker one closest to the bird would be just enough.
