They look OK on my monitor but how are they on a monitor that has been
calibrated.

It looks a little lacking in contrast. I feel the whites could be a lot brighter and crisper.
Also the birds head and neck looks a little weird, not sure best how to describe it, but it's what I call the 'Rawshooter' look (the software), where the fill-tool has been a little over-done which results in an un-natural lack of contrast.
A cuves adjustment would soon sort it out.

Thanks for the advice I will give it a go with the curves.

Hi Dave,
I agree with Justin, a problem of contrast. The whites in this pic should glare
like a dress of a bride but not blow out.
I wish a bit more space at the left side of the pic. The swan is running against a wall.

Hi Dave,

Nice pose! If this isn't full frame then I'd like more room all around especially on the left for him to move into as I feel it's a wee bit tight! I agree with Justin's comments. Will check back for the repost!

Looks quite murky on this monitor Dave.
