    Hi Jon, very well exposed on this dark fellow, as the feather detail on the wing shows up nicely. Looks like the wind was blowing, so I like the ruffled head and chest. Another good shooting angle from the car. My eye keeps getting drawn to the dark seed above the tail, so blending it away wont harm the image.

    Hi Jonathan, I like the good feather detail's and ruffled feathers. I would definitely look at cleaning up the black & white spots in the background.

    Jon:

    Good comments from above, I like the detail of the rear foot, and the tousled head feathers. Do agree about toning down the spots in bg a bit. Not much needed really.

    Cheers

    Good exposure and walking pose. Details look nice. I agree in removing the dark spots, and some of the light ones...especially near the head and face.
