Beautiful shot!! I agree with Peter, I would have not centered the subject in the image.Otherwise, it is a great shot, unique pose, greate DOF and sharpness, nice colour sat.

Beautiful shot!!

Beautiful shot. Love the clarity of the image, DOF spot on! Image cropped a little too close to the top and bottom of bird, but cropping on the sides well done. Like the BG.

Hi Rachel,

Warm welcome to TN!! Hope you find this site as helpful as I have :) I like that your subject is slightly off center, subjects should mostly not be dead center unless you have a good reason. Your depth of field (DOF) was well chosen as the stigma is in focus as well as the petals.

I would chosen a larger crop so I get the entire flower instead of losing some of the petals.

Keep them coming!

Thanks for sharing,

Lovely shot of a lovely eagle!! Very sharp, foreground is a little distracting, but I understand that you dont call the shots with where they pose for your pics :)

TFS!!

Hi Tasos,

Warm welcome to TN!!! Lovely subject for your first post. Very interesting posture as well, so this makes for a very interesting post. DOF is perfectly set as the BG is blurred enough not to be distracting and the feather detail is awesome. I think the pic might be a little underexposed as i cannot see the eye of the bird.

Look forward to your other posts!

Great shot ... pity that you did not get the eye as it makes the picture. Love the sharpness of the feathers, the BG and saturation.
