Got some dramatic lighting on that bird Chris and well handled Would give the bird more room by the tail and up front Might also evict the bright highlits by the head?
Normally I would go for more traditional lighting but it is fun to go for these !!!
I would much prefer a totally back lit image to the side light here, exp. with the shadow of the single feather and the over-exposed highlights... Also, there is something very funky going on with the last primary feather...
later and love, artie
