I liked her pose, but didn't have enough DOF. Will half a sharp bird work?
Cleaned and smoothed the background, cropped a couple of distractions. The light was subdued.

Does this work?

Hi Jay, I think this would work a lot better if the cattails in the bg weren't there. I find that a lot more distracting than the shallow dof. I do find the bird quite centered in the frame and would suggest moving it to the left a bit. Nice head angle and pose!

Good feedback.............I'll have a go at it.
Agree with Kerry, the cattails seems to be the main subject, too bad nice bird and I love the pose. Tight on the left as noted above. I am on work monitor are the whites in check - thanks for sharing.
Re-post on Suggestions
OK......here it is re suggested changes. Any better?
Jeff, I'll have to check the WB later............I low keyed the light for effect, which also may not work.
Jay, excellent repost! Very nicely done, sure looks better to me. I think this is a case where the good points of the image far outweigh any negatives. Good save!
