    Fantastic Joe. Beautiful job all the way around. I love the colors and the light. I also like the way the eye is focused downward rather than right at us. TFS

    Another Joe classic with perfect EXP on those whites... Thanks for your suggestions on the green heron. Very appreciated coming from the bird whisperer himself. TFS

    This is really nice... Great head angle, goofy eyeballs and nice BG.

    More good work Joe, you've handled with sun angle well with no blown areas, and the angle has meant the face is nicely lit
