    Hopefully this is more in keeping, however I very much appreciated the comments good or bad, in the last posting, as at adds adds to the learning curve.

    It does add to the learning curve..
    I can't think of much worse wing position , bad shadow and head angle...
    A good photo to show what not to post, don"t know if that was your point
    but it is effective.

    Sun is directly overhead, and the bird's head is angled slightly away. In fact, the eye is in shadow. The wing position is interesting from a flight dynamics standpoint but is not very artistic or otherwise interesting.

    Thanks Artie, Andrea’s & Jon.

    Jon, heading to Minsmere next week, as ‘Whopper’ is getting it’s upgrades, however these new 21/22 build 16 inch Mac Book Pro Max1 just eat things alive, so Stage 1 is ending completion. If you want to update your system let me know, it will cost you less than you think. Talk later.
