    Here is another from Bosque Del Apache WR. I have a wings down version too, but the feet show better (no shadows) on this one, so decided to post this one first.

    This is a great looking frame, Kurt. Great detail on the bird and not a shadow to be seen! Dappled BG is very nice as well. The neck is a tricky exposure, but you look like you nailed it!
