Hi,

First time posting. Very new to Wildlife and BIF. I have some experience with wedding/portrait photography in the past.

These two shots are from Venice, FL. I was thinking of printing the first one on metal - is it good enough to print? Do they look over-processed (some Topaz AI) ? Thanks for any feedback!

If I may give my 2c
These images are really great, and you can be proud of them. A small nit (for me) would be the clipped wing.
My thoughts are more about printing. You say you are new to wildlife, which means you have LOTS of great photos ahead of you.
I would wait a bit for that one photo that isn't only great - but exceptional.

Unless you have lots of walls in your house or lots of money to change them monthly 😂

Excellent advice, thank you! The clipped wing was the results of tight cropping. I struggled whether to leave it unclipped, or to get a tighter view, and decided on the latter. I'll look into it again.
 
Opinion: If you like the image and you think you want a print then go ahead and print it. Hey, it's only money and life is short. Enjoy the results of your efforts. You can always catch a sale at one of the internet outfits and have it printed on paper and put it up. Then after looking at it for a while, see if you still want the metal print.

That's a good point, thank you.
