No background distractions in this one. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
Beautiful HK look and soft colors. I might see about making the eye pop a bit more. I see some straight lines to the left of bird in BG -not sure if you noticed them. Very nice landing pose. Just curious how much of a crop from the original? I like the pink border:)
Beautiful work, Bill! Perfect framing & comp IMO. You are turning me into a lover of low-contrast images and I didn't seriously think that was possible! :D
Thanks again Denise, Julie, Nick, Christopher. Denise; I appreciate your powers of observation! Didn't see lines in the background. I'll check the full size image. The question about the cropping is a good one. This image has more of a crop than my usual. I try to crop as little as possible because the more you do it, the less detail there is to work with. It would have helped if the bird had been closer.
