    Love the soft light which you took full advantage of here. Also love the framing and the OOF vegetation as a base. TFS

    Well done high key image. The bird looks quite at peace. From a vehicle?

    Nice high-key indeed, and good vertical comp. Sharp on the face. You could use the sponge tool at around 8-10% opacity to remove the yellowish cast on the under-tail coverts and lower belly area by desaturating the colour there. Is that a cloning mark next to the wing to our right?

    Hi John, neat image of a Kingbird, I don't see them often here. Good advice from Dan, I also see the artifact near the right wing. Removing the extender and cropping more may have brought the tail and feet into sharper focus. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks folks. Nothing is cloned in this image. That must be a loose feather. Good eye.
