Mai is a girl I met here in HCMC, Vietnam. She has done some part

time modelling and was very professional and worked well in front of

the camera. I have many great shots from the few days that we worked

together. This is one of my favorite ones.

I would like some feedback on composition, lighting, overall impact etc.

Cheers

Philip

Wow - what a lovely image.   We have these birds wild in New Zealand and I remember - when I was a kid -  looking for their eggs in the manuka bushes.  The bird stands out clearly because it is contrasted against the dark background.  I also like the soft green colours of the Fennel that the bird is sitting on (well I hope it is fennel). 

Keep pursuing your passion - you will inspire many with your beautiful images.

I watched these guys for a long time loading sugarcane in the tropical

heat. I was sweating and felt weary just watching them. I had been

out to this isolated location several times before, so they all waved

and smiled - they knew me as the 'Foreigner, with big camera'. They

were very gracious, and I have many special images from this one shoot.

The sun warmed up later in the day and the images were even more

striking - hopefully I will post again to illustrate this.

Thanks for looking
