Description

This is actually a photo I took in 2010. I honestly don't know why I didn't upload it, it was the sharpest one I took out of the lot (he was just over a meter away from me as well, so that's pretty amazing for me). Apparently as well as improving as a photographer, I'm also improving on the selection of my photos. I hope you think so too :)

And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.~Genesis 20-23

First of all, I absolutely adore the colour in this and would probably snatch it up in a second for my wall if it were being sold as a print.

The composition is great; the way the body curves and directs the eye to the head, the way the body is out of focus, again directing your attention to the head. They eye is nice and clear with a realistic reflection. The feathers are an excellent balance of detail without being overwhelming by having each individual strand in focus.

The two points of critique I have are; the couple points of overexposure at the top of the beak and some of the feathers just above the beak; and the blurring at the tip of the beak. It would have been nice to see that be a little more in-focus.

Overall, an excellent shot!
