Bad light conditions and some of plumages are to bright.
Very interesting model and almost nice capture.
TFS Jean.

Bonjour Jean,
La composition est bonne et c'est un bel oiseau, il a une belle tête. Par contre, tu aurais dû augmenter le ISO à 400 pour aller chercher une plus grande vitesse (1/160 n'est pas assez rapide), soit 1/250 ou 1/500 encore mieux. De plus, la photo à contre-jour n'est pas facile.
Salutations, Francois

Hello Jean,
An unusual looking bird you've captured.
A very good POV,excellent background and DOF.
A touch dark in places which has been rectified in the workshop already.
A good shot,well done.

TFS

Hello Jean -

Very nice attempt. You have a nice portrait but I find the image to be a tad soft. You have excellent DOF as the background is completely OOF and does not h ave any disturbing elements. I looked at the WS and the OE and UE areas have been corrected.

Thanks for sharing.
