Good sharpness on your subject and interesting perch for hm/her. The BG is somewhat distracting because of the bright areas. If you can, I suggest a selection and darkening it. In the field, moving left might have given you a more uniform BG.
Hey James,
Those rock fields they like to hang out in are tough! So many bright areas that you handled pretty well for the most part. I am torn on the overhang.....because I feel it adds another dimension......although being shaded it does pull the eye so I would lean with Rachel. Very nice job capturing the warning call!
Good comments all! I thought the overhang kinda framed the pika but when I look at it cropped I can see the difference. I used shadow highlight to darkened the background and like that too. Thanks.
