Lovely even lighting and feather detail. Such a pity the feet weren't visible. Maybe crop a bit off the left and bottom to minimize the bit of OOF foreground and the dark patch at the bottom.
A nice image. i really like the subtle blue sky behind the bird that you have got by getting low to the ground. Perhaps you can crop a little from below, but I wouldn't crop from the left. I think the bird needs this space to look into.
Hi Mark
This is sweet mate. Your holidays are working out well for ya. . . . .
I would also second the crop suggestion from the bottom. Well done mate. :)
Lovely subject, excellent exposure, although it looks like it could use a tad more saturation and contrast...ever so slighly.
The OOF stuff in the from left detracts to my eyes. I might have cloned just a hair from the bottom and then cloned the rocks from right to left somehow to loose that obstruction. Would it have been possible to move a bit further right and subliminally talk to the bird (naaa...I'm not saying I ever do that) or whistle gently to get it to turn it's head?
