liked the open beak. beautiful bird.
the DOF is very thin here & a little more would have helped i guess...

Great capture of the action Steve, I find the crop well for my taste. The perch is not too bad, I think, but I cannot hep but see smudging all along the edges. What could cause that?

[Bonnie Block]

Nicely done, Steve. Great eye contact and pose. I might clean up the little oof area under his tail.

If he gets anymore air in those lungs, he will burst! Good exposure on the blacks. I like the expressive look to the eye and the open beak.

Sharp bird...well exposed and I like the lighting. Well Done!

Thanks all for the comments.
Akos, the smudging is caused by my unsteady hand doing a poor job of selecting the perch and running NR on the BG.
