Hello John,

Very interesting pose. The image looks a little dark in my monitor, perhaps curves will help that. I also find too much space on top with adds nothing to the image. More fill flash would of helped too!

Keep them coming!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose and the setting is nice, too. I agree that it could go a tad brighter.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Looks dark here too. You certainly captured the entertaining feeding behaviour these guys like to go through for a berry though!

[Steve Maxson]

Love it. I'm always looking for that "different" image and this one fits the bill. Brightness has been mentioned. I would consider cropping from the left. I'm OK with the space at the top, as presented.

[Robert O'Toole]

Good points Maxis, i agree. Also some USM on the face/eyes would give the image more punch.

Love the pose.

Robert

Adjusted as sugested to lighter

I will try and calibrate one monitor to match here as my monitors are profilled to my printers and they are printing just right but I can profile one of them for the web


Thanks

John

Lovely image and you've captured a moment that brings a smile to my face. The branch and berries add a lot of interest and color and the bg is beautiful. The lighter version looks great. A little selective sharpening of the eye area will top off this great image. I like the composition as presented. Well done.

[Leroy Laverman]

Very unique image John. The repost is good for the web. I really like the green bkg against the red berries.

[Andrew George]

Interesting pose, the new version is much better!

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice repost John,
I like it the way it is...:D
