The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This is an older image that I have reprocessed with new tools. I apologize for not being more present on the site but I have had some health issues which prevent me from doing a lot of things. There have been so many changes to Photoshop and other software in the AI era that it is hard to keep up. I will make more of an effort to be visible in the future.
Glad to see you posting David. I think this is a stellar shot - love the singing pose and complimentary BG. Nice perch too. This all comes together to make a striking image IMO.
I’m happy to see you on the forum again, David. As usual, you have a great perch and the singing pose is excellent. Plumage detail looks really good.
Sorry things have kept you from us & your photography, but I hope you are on the mend. And thanks for digging in your archives for this one. Worth it! What energy and purpose in this image. There’s a tiny bit of haloing I see, especially around the beak and head. Could be a masking thing, but those are tricky. Super shot.
Very nice image of the sparrow, David. Good angle, interesting perch and nice clean background. Echo Kristen’s observations - there appears to be some sharpening artifacts in around the sparrow.
What a delightful image of this Sparrow calling out!
It’s wonderfully composed with lots of fine details, the pose is great and the smooth BG with the complimentary color is what makes this so delightful.
I hope your health issues become a thing of the past real soon!
David–I hope that you are feeling better. Awesome post processing for this sparrow. You can tone down the sharpening a tad because this image does need a lot. Perfect for printing–Awesome job…Jim
