A close up but probably not extreme. This Red-billed Spurfowl was taken in Botswana a while back with my old gear. The BG was darkish and busy so I have selectively darkened the BG more to create the spotlight effect on the bird.
Neat bird, and I do like the spotlight effect you got. Good exposure, and I like the pensive pose. The comp would be strenghtened by anchoring the subject at left edge and adding canvas to the right IMO (you could also add a bit more above too). What do you think?
I like the repost Daniel, anchoring the bird on the left avoids the perception of the bird floating in the black BG and as you say presents a much stronger comp. Thanks for taking the time.
