Highlights are my biggest gremlin, shooting digital is a real challenge when it comes to keeping the highlights in control. I use a 2xND filter to help however it is a real issue. It is not an issue here so much Jerry

Beaut picture. I gave you 7, as it happens - my 7 worked better than yours - (or should that read that my seven was meaner than yours?). I'm not losing any sleep over my scores anyway, and I sure's hell dont expect you to be losing sleep over yours. Congrats... |

Congratulations Judi! Great capture. The blue background is amazing and such great detail on the bird. The blown highlights on the head is my only nitpick, and I read it was yours too. I'm very glad you decided to enter this shot. |

beautiful shot - why is it so blue -- is that sky? looks like underwater almost. great shot. I don't think the BG out-of-focus is so much of an added interest as necessary for the portrait. |

|
06/22/2006 03:10:53 PM |
Oh, you are SOOOO close on this one! If the white wasn't blown out I'm sure this would be scoring near the top. I love the contrasting colors and the blue in the background is very nice. Best of luck to you in the challenge. |

Excellent image with good lighting and nice details. The bokeh provides good contrast. My only nitpick is the blown up highlights on the head. |

Ha ha, clever title! The blue is so bold that it almost overwhelms the bird. Too bad about the blown out spot on head. Nonetheless, it's a great capture and wonderful composition. Nice work. |
