Taken last week at Green Cay as the evening was approaching. The lighting was lovely and although Green Cay has been quiet recently there was a little action going on.

Hand held

All comments are much appreciated. Thanks !!

I like the light in this image a lot. I wouldn't try to eliminate shadows here, but I wonder if lightening the shadow on the wing just a bit would lessen it's impact on the image over all?

Wow! the lighting and sky look real pleasing to me. There is something at the very top border and left of center-does not look like a cloud based on its shape. An oof branch in foreground perhaps, based on it's linera shape?

Jeff this image is just as taken. The only post work was cropping and and a touck of USM. Nothing else was touched. Thanks so much for commenting.

Oh, I see it now. Looks like a mild dust bunny or something. It is really faint though.

Judy, Lovely! I am a big fan of capturing the subjects in great lighting and this has that and more!

P.S. - good eye sight out there...I had to put my face up against the screen to find it...does look like it might be a dust bunny...an easy "fix."

I agree with the natural light look left alone here. You did outstanding! This has got to be the best whites I have ever seen with this kind of light.

Very nice! The action is frozen perfectly, and the exposure looks great.

Great light and pose, the BG makes this really special. The chest looks a bit dark. I'm wondering if selective S/H would improve it.

This one simply rocks, what a stunner. Can't see a way to improve it really, wish it was mine.
