Good sharp focus on the head, Dumay. I like the red of the eye and bill and the turn of the head shows this well. Light looks quite harsh and is reducing the greyness of the head - I wonder if some selective processing would maintain underwing detail and show the grey head more clearly.

Hey Dumay, I like the curvature of the wings, together with the flying angle. These guys certainly have striking beaks. Was this at Bonero?

Thanks Toni, trying your suggestions.Let me know what you think....Hey Stu, yeah it was yesterday afternoon at Banero

Dumay:

Like the loose crop of the original and the exposure and post processing on the repost.

Cheers

Good job with the head in the repost. I do not know the bird very well but I think that the underwings might be too light in the repost.

Randy--the crop looks the same to me...

Artie:

It is close, but the original picture is 1022 x 594 and the repost is 917x 554.

Thanks Randy. I just noticed the big crop from the right :o

Love the repost.

Dumay, I like the repost. The HA and the wing position looks good.

Good job on the repost, Dumay. Head looks a lot better.
