    Gail,

    I think he is perfect. I love the pose and those wings are kind of metallic, very nice. Love the fuzz on his chin and the lifted leg. And the "perch" is great - sand? but seperate from the background.

    Great wing spread you captured. I like the varying hill/mounds that you captured this little one on. Adds a little something extra.

    You really extracted the details!
    Very nice. The wing position and the position in the frame is very good.

    Hi Gail,

    I liked the stretched wings, raised foot, eye contact, perch and BG. Great IQ. TFS

    Nice capture, Gail! Little guy is a bit messy with that lingering down, adds to the image. Good background, I could see a tiny bit more room at the bottom.

    Another vote for more room at image's bottom! Also, what's not to love about this scruffy birdo? Huzzah, etc!

    As usual great IQ.

    Hi Gail, great eye level capture, and I like the 'crouching' pose with the raised foot. You have brought out the feather detail on the underwing nicely, and I do like the BG. Another vote for a little more room at the bottom.

    I like the comp as is. Excellent pose...gotta love those fully outstretched wings! The scraggly feathers do add some character to this young fella.

    Great image. I like the comp the way it is. I would like the bottom part of the background a little darker. The bird is perfect.
