Woodie Wings II

Gallery: AvianPosted March 21, 2014124 views8 comments

I like the fact that I was able to freeze the wings with the fast shutter speed. This allowed me to see the beautiful wing tips that I did not know were so colorful. Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice pose -- I like how the DOF starts in the foreground and holds past the gorgeous woodie --

Sweet catch of this guy. Nice wing position and I like the way you got the iridescence on the head and the wings.

A beauty Jerry.

I might add just a bit more sharpening on only the eye but gorgeous as is.

Very nice pose and posing.
I would go with ISO 320 1/2500 or 1/3200. (I allways do the same thing, I mean High ISO high shutter speed.
