This GBH flew very close and I was intrigued by the shadow cast on the wing. There is no room for the bird to "fly into" but I hoped by placing the eye on the upper left power point the image would work. All opinions are welcome.
Canon Mark II, 500/4 IS, 1.4, about 70% of image, ISO 250, 1000 @ f/8
I really like this Andy and find it to be a very artitic crop with the shadow lines following the lines of the neck. Really very striking and it has the feeling of speed with the feathers blowing towards the back. Lovely and many thanks for sharing.
I'm having trouble with the oof wing. It is very prominent and catches my attention. Also the legs are part shadow/sun. I do and like different images but this is not working for me. Again with these type is all appreciation.
I was thinking of an alternate crop. Going real tight to do away with most of the wing, add canvas in front and cut the legs in front of shadow. Downloaded and played with it in PS but could no come up with a working image.
This image does fit better in the out of the box gallery. Might want to place there in the future !!! Keep experimenting !!!!!
