Another from my visit to the Bosque in early morning golden light; HA and wing position not perfect but one of my better images. C&C encouraged and greatly appreciated.

This is one fine image and capture Lady Katie...I like the head angle and sharp eye. The color rendition is very good and the light is sweet and golden...congrats...well done...:cool:

Awesome light and sharpness. Love the open bill. The head angle works for me. Agree about the wing position, although I like the far wing position and detail. I might desat the reds on the head just a little.

Most first visitors will be quite envious of this image! Well done.
