One of the best woody shots that i have seen-the head turn makes the image and the exposure is bang on

Superb image Guy - you really nailed the exposure - have to agree with Dave that this is one of the best GSW pics I have seen.

Great shot. I like the background and the feet make it for me. I'd swap it for the one I posted yesterday!! :toast:

Hi Guy,

Awesome, simply awesome image! This has too be the best GSW I've seen! The exposure is spot on giving prefect detail in both the blacks and the whites! Superb feather detail and so sharp! The pose and head turn with the catch-light is fantastic!

What a great shot and such detail. I hope this is not a dumb question but is it a seasonal factor that I'm noticing an increase in the f factor in the techs detailed of late. The results are out standing and just thought it may be significant.

That certainly is a good one... perhaps a little less sharpening?

Agree its a bit over sharpened for a screen image Guy, but a fine shot indeed, and great alert pose captured :toast: :toast:
