Taken last week on a very overcast rainy day in between showers. I upped the techs as much as I could to get some detail in the bird. Then I adjusted highlights etc in PP to emphasize the whites.
I'ld be interested to know if this sort of image has an appeal or not.

I really like this. I would clean up the darker patches on the right though. Was the ground really sloping this much, the picture just feels like it is tipped a bit too much :)
Thanks for the feeback Ben. For the life of me I can't work out how I got this slopping when I was lying on the ground! Normally I would straighten an image like this, but I thought I'ld leave it as something different.
Sweet feather details here, Mark. I like the one foot up pose and the and the angled look works well for me.
I wonder how it might look if you desaturated the green stuff to keep the minimalistic feel of the image?
