Hi Allen - Like the pose and the techs look solid, like the catchlight in the eye.
I would not be surprised if the reds were clipped just a little - Have a look at your histogram in particular the red channel - might not be by much.
Sharpness and detail look good.
Keep em coming :)
Ah no, that's not a pose... he is saluting you! :) I like the image. It has a nice, natural feeling to it, probably because of the not smooth water. Very nice!
Hi Allen, I think if you expanded this into a square panel showing different "states" of the birds behaviour i.e. a study of behaviour, that would add an interesting element in lieu of a single moment in time.
I have a sequence of images with this character, as you suggest, but haven't spent the time to make a poster of it. (I've done that just once, for the different hummingbirds that visited my feeder on our loft deck/patio.)
it's rough; I never got around to figuring out better/real borders between image cells in Elements, but I liked the images organized that way so much I uploaded it anyway.
Thank you for sharing the link. Very nice start. I think perhaps placing the darker ones in the corners might help w/ the balance. As to Arraying them, I think both lightroom and photoshop have the facility for making contact sheets, this might help simplify positioning. As to border colors, that's a tough call, I'd just try something that complements salmon color, perhaps royal blue to royal green. Alternatively, one could make little B&W silhouettes of the birds and rim them around the photos. Just spit balling here..
