What a great title for this image! The first thing I noticed when I saw the image was the beautiful detail in the breast feathers. The white feathers seem to be exposed perfectly. I also think the composition was very well done. I don't know a lot about wildlife photography but I would be tempted to try and get just a little more "pop" from the eyes with contrast and/or clarity. Nice capture!   Posted: 03/13/2023 22:58:38

I like the concept of darkening the background to highlight the bird - I suspect one of the birds of prey. The detail of the feathers is very well done and the mood of intensity in the expression of the bird is great.

I have no suggestions - a well done image. Thank you for sharing it with us.   Posted: 03/14/2023 08:39:51

Trung,
This is an excellent shot. Love the eyes. I generally don't photograph birds, so take my comments with the proverbial "grain of salt". My only possible suggestion would be to get the bird to stand out more from the background.
I might try bring up the brightness and contrast in the front white feathers just to the point where they are still just slightly darker than the white feathers on the shoulders. That will maintain detail and shadow effect from the over head sunlight. I might also try darkening the branch it is on slightly to add separation.   Posted: 03/15/2023 08:31:26

Hi Trung, I join the others: a fine image dominated by the magnificent eyes with the piercing gaze. The details of his plumage come out so beautifully; I think that Dom´s suggestion sounds good!   Posted: 03/15/2023 14:14:23

I really agree with the others. I have a similar photograph of an owl-eagle or hawk I took at night with a flash in Africa. Yours ia better, but they both could be stuffed birds. I think we could improve our pictures if we added a skys like Ed's blue osprey shot   Posted: 03/25/2023 12:17:45
