    I like the fluffed up body feathers. You did a good job with rather harsh, off-angled light.

    Nice view of that kickstand tail. I do like the pose and the light.

    Dan:

    Like the pose and fluff as well. I might try to soften the contrast a bit.

    Cheers

    I like everything except the steep angle.
    A bit of cloud in the sky would have been good.
    IQ looks great.
    Like the clear view of the toes and the tail.
    Nice one Dan!

    Hi Dan, i like the fluffed feathers and fanned tail against the tree. I think the harsh light deters from the IQ, looks a wee bit crunchy but opportunity presented itself and you did well w the light.

    A fine detail of flicker feathers, well done with the light.
