Spruce Grouse Algonquin, Ontario

ottimo ritratto.

saluti paul

I have a few images that I had to play with in photoshop, so I'd like

some opinions on if I got it right or if there is a better approach.

I accidentally left the camera on 'white balance correction'. So in

photoshop I added back some color hue. I also cropped the right side

to give a less centered subject. Does it seem appropriate?

Comments appreciated.

This image (as posted) is quite small and doesn't allow a larger view. The lack of exif data doesn't help with your settings and focal length, nevertheless your presentation is good, with good DoF and a nice clear eye.

I feel that the plumage could be a little better defined, although it could be my monitor...... a larger image would have given a better viewing.

A good shot nevertheless............

Well done.

Regards

I like the slightly offset composition / crop with the bird looking into the frame.  The birds head and eye looks to be well defined and sharp against a pleasantly soft backdrop. I agree with Grayham though, some exif information is always useful for learning and advising respectively.

Compliments!

A quite pleasing shot of this Grouse, head and eye beautifully clear and sharp.  The coloration seems natural.  I see no reason to repeat the prior members' critique requests, however their points are well founded, and would have aided me as well.  Best regards...
