Diane,
He is clearly giving you the "eye" while enjoying a bite to eat. I like the soft (afternoon?) side lighting. Posted: 07/06/2025 15:30:19

Thank you.
Yes afternoon light. They're regularly gathering in the park outside my home. I think they're getting to know me. Posted: 07/13/2025 01:30:36

The soft lighting is great and the Roo stands out from the background. Your 600mm lens is a win!
I like the fact that the whole image is in tones of browns except for the leaves in its mouth. Posted: 07/08/2025 18:24:31

Thanks Mervyn. I didn't even think about the tones of the image until you mentioned it. Posted: 07/13/2025 01:31:38
This is a great photo. I like the posing and face the subject is making. The lighting is also perfect. Great photo. Posted: 07/14/2025 15:41:56
Hi Diane,
Nicely done.
I like the color palette and the expression of this Roo. The green stack offers a great color contrast.
I believe that the background is a little too bright and competing with the Roo. I took the liberty of "tweaking" your image by using selective decrease of highlights and whites in the far background and adding a soft vignette to bring your animal as the center of attention. (I might have done it a little too far, but this is just to show you my vision.)

Nice photo. I do like Pierre's "tweating" to soften the lights on him. How lucky you are to have these so close to your home! Posted: 07/24/2025 21:54:36
I like Pierre's version too. We're lucky to have some talented people in our group.
This mob of roos literally come onto my front lawn. Posted: 07/26/2025 01:57:20
