REally nice pose Allen! I think Dave has some great suggestions on going a bit darker overall with the brightness for a bit more pop. Bg is very nice.....perch is typical of where they land and you maintained the brightness well. I have debated the DOF.....given the pose, I think f14 would have been enough so another round of usm may do the trick. Once the brightness comes down a few poings.....I think this will shine!
Okay, here is a try with it a bit darker...on the right track?
I find these hard to shoot with the full ode in focus when in this pose. I even shot this guy at higher ISO and f20 but the f14 was better from a DOF just because of the particular pose he struck on those frames.
Hi Allen. Super pose against a very nice background. My initial thoughts were similar to those of Dave and Roman - that it needed just a little more pop. The repost accomplishes that very nicely. I don't mind the slight softness in the tips of the forewings. Very well done.
