Great action image. You managed to capture great detail and pan really well with him. The color palette is pleasing and very complimentary to y our subject. The back lighting adds to him and gives him a little pop in your image. Thanks for sharing Willie.

What a nice capture. The action is very good. The balance is good. The focus is good. The lines of the image are good and the branch provides good lines for the image. The color is good, and the background makes a very good contrast with your subject. Very nice image.

That is pretty cool that you have caught flying feathers I was thinking it was water droplets! Composition is good. Depth of field works well. Light is a bit too harsh washing out his back.

Good catch.... Tonal range is good from Highlight to mid-tones and dark areas to blacks.

These Points were considered in the rating of this piece:
Initial impact
Creativity
Color harmony
Center of interest
Technique
Technical excellence
Story telling

Sharpening is important.
Any changes in a digital, even re-sizing causes a loss of sharpening. So final sharpening after all changes are made, can make them look the way we want...

This could use a touch of sharpening. It would make the drops of water sparkle or give it more impact.

Good catch, composition and colors.

Comment from Mr Jones


classic image of a magnificent bird. good to have caught it in mid action as they startle quite quickly. the branch on the right is nicely placed and the feet and wings are in an expressive position. lovely work.
