Took this on a recent trip to Maine. They are very interesting birds. Thanks for looking.
Great shot with lovely pose, nice background and catchlight in the eye. I think the composition works even though the bird is in the middle, as it is symmetric. The only thing I wish is to tune down the color/saturation a little bit on the beak and feet to make them less red/orange. Overall a fantastic image, very nice details on the wings too. I was at the island in early July and it was so much fun.
Super pose and HA, and the central placement is the only way to go here. I like the underwing detail, together with the lichen on the rock. The BG may be a touch oversaturated, but I feel it fits this colourful character.
Great pose and you did very well with exposure with nice details on the belly and underwings. The oranges on feet and beak look good to me; however, I find the greens in the BG a tad oversaturated.
