Nice photo. Terrible Subject.

I am extremely raw at this, so any advice will be greatly

appreciated. I only took a pic. of her head as she is a feather

plucker and the rest of her is so ugly!

nice shot

The image could be sharper, particularly in the eye. It also appears this bird has engaged in self mutilation...what a shame. It's very detracting from a wildlife shot when the creature is not in good shape. I suggest cropping the damaged area.

I see what you mean about the eye, but how would I crop this? Her baldness is below the chest. As for her history: I took her from an abusive home over 16 yrs. ago. The vet said once a plucker always a plucker. She has about 50% more feathers then when we got her. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Maybe you could do just a head shot and get in real close on the face which still looks nice!

Scott had that one pegged, huh?
