7 - Like the 'fluff factor' on the neck, very nice. Good coloring. Criticism; difficult, like the water movement effect in the background, the detail in the feathers, including color fore right is excellent, I already mentioned the neck, the eye is good, but the beak - just 'wish' that were in front, but you only get so many opportunities and I think you've done well with this composition/crop choice wise. Also, obviously, the tip of the beak being black, is 'lost' even more so against this dark background. |
