Today i was finally lucky with the birds. I managed to approach this lovely bird into a few meters. I'm looking forward to hear your critiques. Canon eos 30d with canon 300mm f4 with 1,4 converter.
Soft light, excellent head position for look back pose, soft and muted background.
I might consider a bit more sharpening on the head/eye area, as the wings looks just a bit sharper to me.
I would try a 25% crop of the free space above, and perhaps just a bit from the right (into the gap between the plants). Just an option to see what you think of it.
