This is not something that I have really had the chance for before at bosque. First for the clean open position alone up on an embankment /road and second for the ruffled feathers.
My normal spot this year, the north corn field, farm loop, November 2008.
Thanks for looking, critiques welcome.
I will be leading 2 workshops at Bosque in Dec, 2009 with a White Sands NM add on WS for 2 extra days.
Superb ruffle, EXP, BKGR, sharpness, COMP, and subject-to-film plane orientation. And nice, soft light. Way to go.

Robert, the sharpness, BG and light are super, it loks almost a 3D image! I like everything about this image except the leg´s pose. Just a metter of taste but I do not like. Of course, I am sure that you have more images of this guy with different poses and I would love to see another different pose ;-)
