Thanks for the comments. Yes agree I could have lifted the shadows under the wings. No, I missed the tail end, as the bird flew past, but I thought it helped to get close up to the bird's eye...
I have the series from afar to this close-up, this was by far the best..
"not quite as sharp" ......... we all seem to want the ultimate in sharpness from our lenses - but
When I re-look into images from 20+ yrs ago, the overall lack-of-sharpness when compared with today's lenses is a stark reminder as to how much better the current batch of stuff really us. Doesn't stop us still wanting the impossible here and now
I like the detail of the eye shown in the crop and it looks nice and sharp. The angle of the light didn't help here and I think brightening the head a little would help, but a very nice shot.
I like the photos and the comments. interesting comments about sharpness. There are prints in Gulgong taken from glass plates 250 years ago that amazed me with their sharpness.
Better a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy.
