zwyoung 0 Posted July 5, 2012 the bird is little less than 2 feet, beautiful when wings and tail widely open before landing. ZW. Link to comment
keith_bogut 0 Posted July 5, 2012 This is really exceptional. The DOF looks perfect, the capture is near perfect, with both wings nearly symetrical, the backlighting, the boka, and the feather spread. I've been trying to take similar shots from behind the subject, to capture the full flare just before landing, but I haven't been nearly as successful. I can appreciate how hard it is to get into position to capture a shot like this. I assume this is a cropped image and you've experimented with subject placement, so I won't comment on that. The only critical point I'd make is that it's a little dark. I'd lighten the background for sure, and the body of the bird. If that blows out the feather tips, maybe burning would be more effective. I'm no expert in PS, but I don't think this would be too hard to do.Congratulations on a great shot. Link to comment

gi11 0 Posted March 27, 2013 What a beautiful image! One of the best photo of birds that I have seen. Excuse me, I am a finicky: can you clone or darken the highest light in the diagonal almost white line behind the head of the bird, if you agree of course! Splendid. Link to comment
