Beautiful colors, details and I love the perch and pose. I love the BG colors but not so sure about striation. Beautiful canvas overall. TFS
A beautiful bird and sharp. Did you or soemone else feed them? The shed must be good for storage but not for backgrounds ...
with love, artie

Beautiful IQ, Bill. Love this moment just before his leap. Great detail, and wonderful complimentary color in the background.

Beautiful Colors. Nicely Executed. I would have cropped some canvas at left side.
I like the background colors.

I really like the framing and lighting on this one Bill, BG is great apart from the light strip going through the head which I might have played with. Great timing with the foot position

Thank you all. I did think about toning down the lighter strip through the head. Maybe it's worth playing with, as Mike suggests.
The title makes this one. Well done. Nice detail on the bird. Wouldn't notice the shed was a background unless you mentioned it.
Thanks John.
