Steve,

Great looking bird, perch and BG. You could probably open up the blacks a bit if you wanted but I like it as presented.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like it too, very good all around. You could darken the brighter band across the very top as I think it would be more pleasing with a darker finish up there (very subjective of course). Excellent pose offered by the magpie! :-)

[Fabs Forns]

Very painterly look with excellent compo. Daniel and Robert have both made good points.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose, details and perch. I agree with Robert regarding the blacks.

Hi Steve,

What a lovely pose and soft light. Excellent!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Awesome capture with a lovely pose and a stinning BG. Like this a lot Steve. Fine work !!!

Nicely composed Steve.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very, very nice. I like the perch and pose. In the Bg I might suggest tweaking the top so that it doesnt fade to white.

[Gus Cobos]

Great composition and exposure, I like the eye contact, head angle and the perch...congrats...:cool:
