Wow!! Subject, colors, background, feather details, sharpness, and composition are excellent. I think the bird's capture position is unique. Jaw dropper. regards~Bill
Thanks very much William.Originally Posted by WIlliam Maroldo
Total agreement with Bill's comments. In addition, I really like the BG color because it is some complimentary to the bird. Looking forward to seeing more! Alex
An image with a high 'wow' factor. Beautiful!
hI Roy - Lovely - BG really sets the bird off - nice use of the multiple flash's.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Sharp with lots of details, interesting dynamic pose and what I like best is the beautiful background. Really like this beautiful image very much. Maybe a bit more separation between the beak and the far wing, but this is already great image as it is. TFS.
Lovely image as stated in the comments above. Maybe the vibrance in the background reds could be toned down just a touch.
Outstanding for the reasons given Roy. I find the hard shadow cast on the body by the wing a little distracting. You could soften this if you wanted. Minor issue in a really good image.
Striking picture. I look forward to seeing more.
