Hi Fab,

Nice to have you around :). I like the composition and amazing light on this one. I think it can use a little more sharpening but I could be wrong... The pose and vegetation are terrific.

See you soon!

A fabulous backlit image, Fabs! Wonderful silhouette, and I love the gold light glinting from tail feathers and bill. Also like the vegetation, really adds a sense of place. Magnificent.

I think if I went out and found that light I'd get down and kiss the ground. Wow! I agree with a hint more of sharpening on the bird - the rest I wouldn't touch.

very nice, beautiful all around

Really Stunning Fab. A very artistic and beautiful capture. An outstanding composition and gorgeous lighting. Love it !!!!

Intoxicating Fabs, I like the color and background. The artistic view of the composition is awesome with the soft gold and green light.
