Dan, glad you got to get back out and shoot. 2 months is a pretty good hiatus....
I was able to shoot Woodies here this week also. Doesn't get old.
Like this one, super calm green water is sweet. Pretty iridescence on the hood feathers. Reflection works.
As a personal matter I'd take just a touch less contrast and would lessen the brights a touch.
And I too got some beautiful Woodies last week - it's the season! Good low angle, but also high enough to get a good reflection. Just a bit more head angle may have given you some purple hues on the cheek - but these guys have so many colours already!
Really nice colors and reflection in this shot Dan! Also like the low angle. Nice work!
beautifully executed frame, stands out against dark BG. yes to a bit lower contrast and maybe pulling some details out selectively in the balacks
