    Very nice Geoffrey....The bird and perch look real good against the BG. I like the detail, with good control on the blacks and whites. I just wished the HA was a wee bit better.

    Clean, simple image, well exposed. I love the outsized bills on these guys.

    Clean and simple Geoffry, just wished the head wasn't slightly angled away.

    Ok...here I go too...clean and simple! You surely knew you'd get head angle comments, and I agree with those. I like the very subtle hint of cloud in the blue BG.

    Agree with the above as well, but I really love the perch and slightly broken up BG. These are beautiful birds. TFS

    Man the bill on these birds is so neat looking. Agree about the head angle. Thats the way she goes sometimes.

    Simplicity of the image is really nice. I am thinking of vertical crop. Head Angle it not great.
