    A little ealy for the July theme, but I'll give you an early-bird pass. I really like this and I feel the OOF OC works very well - just a bit of fringing to take care of along its wing. Nice details and good exposure, the blacks look deep and rich and I like the chosen comp.

    I like the juxtaposition of in-focus and OOF bird. Exposure is solid, and the wing position of the leading bird is perfect. I'm seeing some funny-looking artifacts around the entire body of the bird on the left.

    Very nice shot. Exposure is spot on, great wing position on the focused bird, and great comp.
    Well done.

    Oops, looks like I jumped the gun with this theme, thanks for the early-bird pass Daniel , & thank you all for commenting, Doug, I'm not seeing those artifacts you mention.
