Rock Pigeon

[goooner]

Took this photo at my parents place in Pretoria South-Africa. These are also known as spotted pigeons. I've downloaded a free trial of ACDSee 9 Ultimate, looking for an Adobe alternative. This was the 1st Photo I edited using this program. I probably overcooked it a little...

C&C always welcome.

Nice. I don't think the pigeon is overcooked, maybe the background can be toned down.

The Pigeon looks good great detail. Other then what Jack said maybe tone down BG a bit depending on ones preference other wise a nice shot.

Thanks. Yes haven't tried the edit module in ACDSee yet. Only the manage and develop modules lol. Will see if I can straighten it, and tone down the background later.

Rgds,

As I shoot raw, the sooc will have to go through the RAW converter 1st. I can post the un-cropped un-edited version if you like. Thanks for looking.

Here you go. Doesn't look like I cropped it at all. Now to try and darken the background...

Thank you! This is just as I had expected. The original has better BG, so? it was a great pic to start with.
