Sanat, except for maybe bringing in the right edge slightly, there's very little to critique -- beautifully reproduced colors, soft background, perfectly sharpened, and nice catch light in the eye. I think this is your best entry since the group started. Posted: 12/10/2024 23:20:17
Sunat - I love this! Very striking image. A very good capture with a narrow depth of field with nicely defused background and well developed. Taking a bit off the right would be worth doing. Posted: 12/13/2024 18:54:22
Sanat ... Thanks for sharing a bird very beautifully captured and processed, I will never see in person. :). Posted: 12/16/2024 20:43:06
