Good looking bird Gina :) They are almost as hard to photograph as the Emu !!!

For leveling you can use the ruler tool and go from the center of one eye to the other just like you would the horizon. Works great and can also use if you have a reflection (with eyes visible)

I like the crop and settings Only wish there was no mixed lighting !!! Excellent capture !!

Gina, I think your bird is interesting to look at! I like the comp

Alfred, good tip using the ruler tool between eyes ,Thanks!

Hi Gina,
I like the close up capture, good advise given on the ruler...you might do a slight pass of noise reduction on the background...:cool:
