Great composition and nice pose,nice work Mike
Hi Mike,
Agree .....very nice.........might want to work on smoothing out circular BG shapes by signature........but again, nicely done.
Great details and BG. Maybe a bit more saturation and/or contrast.
Very pleasing image! nice detail! and what a pretty looking bird!

Nice pose and soft colors, but it looks a little hazy to me. Might try upping the blacks a bit in selective color.
Nice portrait, but another vote for increased contrast. Got this with Auto Levels in PS. Fixed the BG too.
nice shot Mike, I bet it was some cold when you fired this frame.
Excellent done, Mike. Doug's repost make it pop.
Very nice Mike, composition and capture are great, and Doug's reposit with the contrast makes it stand out...:D
Thanks guys! I wonder (once again) why when I post from pbase to here its muting my image a bit? Here is what it looks like (unchanged) on pbase where I'm linking from. http://www.pbase.com/mike_lentz/image/92462985.jpg
Axel, check out the blacks in the wing... back and forth back and forth and then go to the yellows... definitely a difference. Not huge, but its there.;) I just wonder why?
