Ian, I think this is a very nice image but it is difficult to tell with the small posting size. You can post up to 800 pixels tall and up to 200k file size. Can you post a larger version?

Ian,

Did you try different cropping options. I like verts and this seems to work for me. Large post might help with detail and IQ, habitat is beautiful.

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks. Here it is at 800 pix

Ian, much easier to see for my tired eyes! I like the wings-down pose and the nice background. Some hot spots around the face and tail, but otherwise excellent exposure. I'm not sure but it might work better as a landscape crop. Did you shoot it as a vertical?

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks, Kerry. I tried it first as a landscape and didn't really like it, so cropped it this way (not shot as a vertical). I'll look again the other way.
