This time I had a chance to go to a higher point to shoot which was further away-but was able to avoid the steep angle and side light. :p

Big difference and I like it a lot !!!! Does look good as presented. Could tweak and lighten the whites while increasing contrast a bit ... but just really minor !!! Big Congrats on this fine bird !!!

Thanks guys-I was so happy to find him again-went out today again and found her perched w/ her mate-too far away for a shot but I was happy to see the male-
