very nice pose from this super bird.... the processing needs looking at though... the whites are looking muddy...

Cracking shot Paul your timing was spot on :smile:


Got to agree about the whites though :frown:

The processing isn't doing the shot justice Paul :frown: - superb capture of the perfect instant to click the shutter :smile: :wavey:

Yes I'm afraid the processing does let his down as it would have been a really well timed image with some pleasing results. Looks like you had some harsh light to contend with and have blown the whites on the collar. Have you used G'Blur on the BG as it just doesn't look right and there are some artifacts showing around the perch and underside of the bird...

A nicely captured moment. Looks like you were working in tough lighting.
