A young Flame Robin fluffed up on a frosty morning.
Canon 50D, 400f/5.6L, 1/1600s, f/5.6, ISO 400, Av mode, 0 EC, Mongoose 3.6 mounted on a skimmer resting on a beanbag on car door, audio assisted
cropped for composition and a small canvas extension to the right, minimal PP (levels, curves, sharpen)
Nice capture and comp, Leo. Cute bird, like pose, diagonal perch with vegitation and the soft neutral BG really provides good contrast. Agree about taking a bit off rt.
Excellent photo and very nice light.
I too, would move the bird over to the right, just a tad.
I bit more DOF would have the tail in a little more focus and would have been a plus, but that is nitpicking.
Well done.
The contrast and background color are stunning. If this were mine, I would
crop from the bottom of the image slightly to eliminate the greenery above the
branch at right with the bird better presented in the frame perhaps as well.
