Very nice Geoffrey....The bird and perch look real good against the BG. I like the detail, with good control on the blacks and whites. I just wished the HA was a wee bit better.

Clean, simple image, well exposed. I love the outsized bills on these guys.

[Steve Kaluski]

Clean and simple Geoffry, just wished the head wasn't slightly angled away.

Sorry Bill, didn't read your reply, great minds! :S3:

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ok...here I go too...clean and simple! You surely knew you'd get head angle comments, and I agree with those. I like the very subtle hint of cloud in the blue BG.

[Alex Becker]

Agree with the above as well, but I really love the perch and slightly broken up BG. These are beautiful birds. TFS

[John Mack]

Man the bill on these birds is so neat looking. Agree about the head angle. Thats the way she goes sometimes.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks everyone.

Simplicity of the image is really nice. I am thinking of vertical crop. Head Angle it not great.
