lovely capture.......Agree with John about some extra canvas..... there seems to be some noise in the underwing ......not the usual colour BG one expects from Giants castle.....
HI Keith Agree on more room bird feels very tight in frame !!! Light is harsh and feathers has a strange feel? Looks like S/H has been used to lighten? Your exposure seems fine Don't think you could have given any more light Do like the beutiufl pose btw bg seems strange for the hard light on the head!!! I'm really confused will see what others have to say on this one !!!!
Thanks for comments, actually clipped this one a bit at the top and did add some canvass at the top and had to clone in some wing tips as they had been clipped off. Agreed shadow/hioghlights tool used, perhaps to agressively? Btw noise ninja also used on image. Bg not changed at all, but as shot.
