You did a nice job with this one as far as clarity and shadows. I think, though, that cropping in a bit so that your star gets to strut his stuff might work. It looks as if you have the quality.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
First, I'd like to welcome you to caedes...glad you are amongst us..I do agree that cropping would give this cutie the attention he deserves. It's odd he isn't the blending-in colour of the tree he's visiting...I love the photo and am so glad you posted it. I love how you were able to get shadows too..nice textures in the shot and nice colours..thankies..Verena
A real cutie!! I like the color combo with the green on brown thing working!!
