Same bird as my last post. At this point it was at enough distance to use a vertical format. It is slightly cropped (if I remember well) to ~7.5MP of 8.2MP. Same specs and details as last shot.

Hope you like it.

ANY feedback is welcome!

Ciao

Peter

Nice shot Peter. It is not as strong as the one with the flowers IMO.

This is a nice shot but I still can't get used to the green on shorebirds, Peter! :wink: :lol:

Lovely image, Peter. Just wish for a smidge of a head-turn to make it even better.

Why did you clip the flowers in this shot :wink: Very nice although I like the previous one better.

Nice environmental image, but the "looking away" problem is severe for me. Nice low approach.

Nice shot, but agree with Steve, the looking away does not do it for me either. Love the previous one with the flowers.

Peter. A head turn would put this one over the top. I think too that I'd like to see a little bit more contrast. Perhaps a very slight S-curve tweak. I'm gonna have to go back and find your other shot now. Still a lovely shot and setting. :)

Thanks all.

Sure the flowers image is a lot nicer. We all agree on that :mrgreen:

@KK: You should come over and you'll like it.

@Bart: You know I love to clip whatever I can.

@Michael: I'm not used to curves. Should dive into that sometime. I think I added some contrast, perhaps not enough. I prever too less over too much contras. I'll revisit it.

Thanks again for watching.

I like the subtle backlighting here Peter. My only wish is for a bit more head turn.
