    Default Henry glowing at sunrise

    During one of my morning sessions I was blessed with gorgeous warm light. This image is 80% of the original of Henry. Hope the vibrance setting I chose in ACR is not over the top. Levels and curves in PS only.

    30D, 300/4L + 1.4x, ISO800, f/9, 1/500th, +1 1/3EC, tripod,

    High, Akos. That light is super golden!!!!! Henry looks a little dejected in this one. Maybe it was the morning after his mate didn't return :(

    My only niggle it he way the perch ends(far left). I think you need to show the end of it or crop it a little tighter to eliminate the knobbly bit. Just my opinion. :D

    Beautiful image Akos! I like the pose and lighting. I agree with Chris about the end of the perch and would probably crop the image a little tighter to eliminate the knobby part.

    Henry has got accostomed to you so well, that he's now posing just for the camera - what a look back pose. I really like the light which in turn has brought out the warm colours nicely. Good sharpness, and if anything, I would maybe bring in from the left just a tad, so as not to see the cut off pieces on the perch. Well captured Bro.

    Akos,

    I don't know the story behind Henry, but if you can get this close to him with the 300/4 he must be a very amiable sort! Wonderful image of one of the birds on my need list.

    Fantastic light Akos! I love the look-back glance, and the ruffled feathers peeking out from behind the wing. I wouldn't mind the lestrel a little lower in the frame, and I agree about comments on the perch ending at left. Well done with this awesome individual once again:)

    Akos:

    Very nice, Henry at his best.
    re; vibrance setting. For my taste, you are right on the edge here, but successful as posted.

    Def. agree about the left end of perch.

    Cheers
