The back/side lighting really makes this shot come alive. Great shot.

Yeah, nice one

It's a very nice image, but in my no-doubt-flawed (and possibly deeply-
biased - Hi Douglas!) opinion, I think more diffuse front lighting
(was it flash? - see below) would have helped. And am I the only one
who thinks Chick 3 is well beyond the depth of field?

From a highly technical point of view, I'm puzzled by how one can get
single eye highlights in C2 and C3, and then three in C1.
Intriguing...

Great shot Douglas. The back lighting brings the image off the BG with
a detail that would have been lost otherwise. I do notice that chick 3
(going from left to right) seems a bit soft. But with the shallow DOF
you took this shot in...it is understandable and forgivable.
Using the flash for front fill was a great way to light up the
shadows without blowing the backlighted feathers. Did you use one or
two flashes? Maybe a reflector as well. Noticing a couple of catch
lights in the eyes is reason I'm asking. Even if you use PS to help
"tweek" the image, it doesn't take away the power of the image any.

God job. Keep at it Douglas. I like what I have been seeing from
you lately.

"And am I the only one who thinks Chick 3 is well beyond the depth of

Maybe not, but you might be the only one that cares!
Personally, my photography improved when I stopped worrying about the
technical aspects of images so much, and started to concentrate on the
artistic side a bit more.
Very few pictures are technically perfect, but it doesn't stop them from
being great images.
As for the highlights in the chicks eyes, could it be because the
angle/position is slightly different? or have they been added to chick 2 & 3
? then again does it really matter? it's the final result and not the
process of getting there that matters to me.

hey that was a CHEEP shot. I'm sure he meant to do that.
Or else his clone tool has a hiccup.

Where are these print centers and studio? Do they have a name and a
physical address? I think I can send some business your way from some
friends I know that live close by.

Post the address so they can give you the business.

You want to be careful someone doesn't give you the business mate.
