I really like the composition of this image, I'd just like to see a little more room to the left (feels tight on the tail feathers)... Nice head angle and catch light. The image looks like it could use a good amount of noise reduction. Keep up the good work!
I really like the setting and comp. Somehow the processing looks a bit off. Did you do a lot of Shadow-highlight adjustment? Darkening the midtones might work for this one?
My wife and I are plannign a short trip to Barnegat Light from Portland Maine real soon. Your photos has convinced me to find the time and spend the doe to go!
Repost better, but definitely over-saturated... Esp. the yellows. You did well with an awkward pose.
later and love, artie

Nice portrait and pose. I agree the post production seems a little off for me. The repost is much better but looks over saturated on my screen also. Is this a big crop?
