Well done. I love this shot. I like your crop. I'm certain I would have cropped out the far left of the image and a bit off the top, but I prefer this. I like the added depth provided by the hint of the birds right wing (assuming that's a wing!!!).
29th place is great but IMO you were robbed. This image is much better than most in front of you. Very nice image. How about some shot details?
Thanks Rex, your taste is impeccable! This bird was on a trainers arm at a winter festival. It was dark behind the bird, and so the background is pretty much stopped-out. I didn't do any fancy editing other than some dodging & burning here & there on its feathers.
I'm very pleased with this shot, and I think it's one of my best ever. I like it better than any of the top five shots on my profile page.
