I quite like this one, although a bit less vertical pose might have been slightly more appealing. To simulate:

Nice one Scott! Nice background, nice vignette, great detail and color!
Only *minor* nit would be the lack of shadow detail on the breast of the bird, below the beak in the photo.

Awesome shot, Scott!!

I really dig Karen's crop as well - it fits along more with the strange way the head sits on the neck.

Also agree with John about trying to pull some details out of the breast.

Would you mind processing this in BW for me?

Cheers,

Jeff

I really like this edit. And I prefer it without the white border - for some reason it makes the background pop more to me that way. Lovely shot either way!

I dont think its the matting. Karen also has done some other fine tweaks.
I agree with a more angled pose. The opportunity didnt present itself.
I also wish there had been a bit of separation between beak and body, but it didnt happen.
Yes, some shadow recovery would improve. I will re-post with tweaks, BW.

Thanks folks.
BTW, this guy was perched on a pier's rail and I was within 2 feet, probably less, of his beak. A bit intimidating.

Jeff,
Thanks for the suggestion. I would not have considered BW for these images, and I am glad they worked out so well. Glad you enjoyed!
