    William,

    I love unique composition and seeing different things and this is an original picture for sure. The placement is excellent having the small bird in the corner is text book and balances the frame. The story here is all three birds in a chase and you captured it well - nice job.

    Funny image and well composed. I'm having rough time with composition of a single bird so doing it right with 3 birds is definitely awesome.

    I don't know if adding a bit of saturation/contrast could give the image more punch.

    Hi Bill, excellent moment in time captured here - I really like the action. I agree with P-A. that a bit of added "pop" would be nice but you are hindered by the intensity of the light. Even so, it would be nice to see a bit more black in the image.

    Appreciate the comments. I think a bit more constrast might help, I'm not sure. My main concern when capturing the image was getting detail in the dark plummage, and in post I couldn't see dropping exposure of the male RWBB was any more than I had already. I 'll play with the image and see if I can get more "pop" with Topaz or NIK. rgeards~Bill
