Hi Glennie, i like this, terrific job on the exposure with details throughout and the pose is so pleasing. Terrific BG, a very nice image, good work my friend!

Nice to have an old friend revisiting your yard for so long! Good looking individual with a good look-back pose. I like the subdued colours of the background. Although the comp is OK I feel that pointing your lens up a bit more would have strengthened it by having the subject a bit lower in the frame. Is one of the BG areas that you worked on around the bill?

First off, how awesome to have the same individual come back for nine years in a row. I have had the same Kestrel come back to the same spot three years in a row, and hoping for four, so I know how cool and rare it actually is. Secondly, I think the shot looks great. Nice pose, details, exposure, sun angle, BG and perch! Did I miss anything? Oh Ya, the comp is perfect too. Very nicely done

Daniel, Thank you. And yes. This was an area that I worked on and I know exactly what you are looking at. The colour variation is natural and an unusual shape. These birds also have long, fine whiskers. In his open beak you can see two fine, black lines. These are his whiskers from the other side of his face. I was of two minds whether to take them out or leave them in. Any advice as what to do?

Well done Glennie. Lovely looking image with nice control of the blacks. I like the look back pose, details and the BG fits nicely. Love the comp.

Love the BKGR, the SH, and that wicked bill. And the great job with the EXP. Just a bit less head turn and it would have been perfect. But still pretty darned excellent.
