stuny Posted July 6, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2013 K-H - Very nice. If the original files has some space in to the right of the beak I think including it would make the image stronger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted July 6, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 6, 2013 k.-H., lovely, the soft tonig is nice and is supporting the romantic meaning we always associate with doves. The focus on they eye is just right and not too dominating. If there is some potential in the RAW I would like to suggest to reduce the luminance of the bright spot under the tail, but it is fine also as it is now.

k-hawinkler Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted July 6, 2013 Stuart, Iduna, Karl, Thanks for the great feedback. Here you go. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I initially didn't expect the bird house color to work out this well. So I tried to avoid it. But cleaning up a few of the dirt spots seems to do the trick. Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Iduna Posted July 6, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 6, 2013 K.-H. thanks for the new version, this is very good now and the comsposition as a whole is balanced and toning now perfect. Thanks for your effort, it was worthwhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your effort, it was worthwhile. Iduna, Many thanks. Looks fine to me as well now. In the first version I liked the not very contrasty drawing of the lens and the colors. I recognized the compositional problem and the too bright spots. But, hey, the forum is partially here so that one can benefit from feedback. Of course, the bird house also has a roof. One can see the shadow. But including that wouldn't make the image any better, IMHO. A birder friend informs me it's an Eurasian collar dove. The Mourning dove is native and much smaller.

Schlemmer Posted July 7, 2013 Share #11 Posted July 7, 2013 The photo pleases me very well, Karl Heinz. It seems as if the pigeon has landed in an impressionist painting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
