nice image,good detail,nice pose,for me I would like a bit more room left,top,and bottom,and I would clone out the white sky,but still very nice image.thanks.
I agree on cloning out the white at the top and giving him a bit more space. Lovely detail and conditions very well handled. Just watch the little dust spot above the tail feathers.
I too would clone out the sky and add some canvas as it is a bit tight. Still a fine image as is. I also think the dark feel adds to the subjects personallity and would leave it as is.
Nice and sharp, but I feel the image is too tight in the frame, also a bit dark. I see a dust spot above the birds top wing. I would also clone out the sky. TFS Dudley
Excellent bird angle, details and DOF. Pity about the sky. Agree with others that it is too tight and needs to be a bit brighter. I am sure you will get something even better next time.
Thank you all for your input and comments. i have adjusted the image to take into account comments received.Image may need a bit of TLC but is an improvement with extra canvas and no sky.
