Some advice: Remember to include your settings. To gain more traction from your posts, share them in a relevant community group and add the appopriate hashtags (listed on the group’s sidebar) to help us better filter the shots.

We’ve always enjoyed using slow shutter speeds to create impressionistic/abstract images of birds in flight. The white birds against the dark backdrop work well. However, have you tried enhancing the contrast slightly by brightening the whites and darkening the shadows just a bit more?

Great portrait, Beaunard. We strongly recommend that you post your images in the relevant groups, such as Portraits or Black & White. Also, remember to add the appropriate hashtags listed on the sidebar of the groups; this helps us filter them.

Wow Judy, it is beautiful. No evidence of the fence…BINGO! Look at those beautiful blue eyes, it’s such an amazing animal. Your exposure is spot-on, it’s sharp and your crop works well. Well done Girl and thank you for sharing.
