    Default Theme - Eye Level White Ibis Portrait

    Another from Gatorland in Florida with Doug Brown and Jim Neiger. I thought the red vs. blue color on the face was too much to pass up! I do think the portrait is too tight in the frame, particularly in the lower right hand corner but it's pretty much full frame and I thought I would solicit ideas anyway. C&C appreciated.

    Excellent detail Kristin, and you have nailed those reds nicely. The blue of the eye really stands out, and just love the overall sharpness. Well captured.

    Kristin, The lighting gives this a dramatic look. I love the juiced up colors and the sharp face and eye. I think you did well with the composition and I imagine I would have cropped it just a hair tighter on the right but I'm not fond of a square crop. Nicely done.

    Good portrait, nice exposure and details. Colours are attractive (especially the blue eye), and the dark BG looks good too. Looks like you had harsh light, but conditions handled well.

    Nice portrait, Kristen. I don't think it's too tight, and I like the colors here.
