Very sharp! Like the colors and textures in the background.

Here is a warmed up version.

Nice pose, details and superb feel on the environment, Denise.
I don't have a calibrated monitor, so please take this with a grain of salt: I like the idea of warming it up, but would like it slightly less warm than the repost.
Would love to see this bigger.

Denise, love the warm up version. I am glad you are posting shots from Bosque too!

[Hendri Venter]

Another vote for the repost. Lovely colours and full spread wings.

[Kim.K.K.Lam]

Beautiful landing pose and warm tone.

[Doug Brown]

You handled the light very well. Great landing pose and a nice sense of Bosque habitat. I prefer the repost.

[Stu Bowie]

Denise, good landing posture, sharp, and love the curled primaries from both wings. Im inbetween regarding both posts, as I really like the colours in the upper half of your OP, but also the overall warmth of the repost.

[denise ippolito]

Thank you all for the comments. Stuart, I agree I like the upper portion colors-I'll mask them in.:S3:

Definitely the repost Denise--maybe a tad less on the warmup.
