Very good shot with instant impact! I agree with kpmac, B&W suits this well. Personally I might have cropped a bit off the left to decenter the bird but that’s just me. Consider a sale of this shot for a book or album cover!
BassmanBruce, Guyserman, kpmac and bonjac: I'm very grateful for all of you taking the time to give me your honest opinions. Extremely helpful and interesting to hear.
First, please note that the second photo was for ecobin to use. It was not intended as a finished work. Bruce, have at it; would love to see your pencil sketch too! I just meant I was looking forward to Ecobins version. That’s an area I’ve yet to try.
