This image was created at Wako on Christmas Eve day where we had the good fortune to meet Fabs, Al, and Maxis. This is the female arranging a stick before settling down to rest.
Thank you for looking and for your comments. Happy New Year.
Beautiful capture Grace with wonderful detail and action and I love it when the GBH have their crest up. My only nit and it is a small one is that it looks a little on the dark side. I think making this a bit lighter would strengthen this limage. Thanks for sharing and a Very Happy New Year Grace.
Hi Grace, I like this one because of the light and the mood. You could have improved the composition by pointing the camera a bit to the right; as is, the bird is too centered. The image is sharp but the bird's head is turned ever-so-slightly away. Agree with Al about the colors--is your monitor color-calibrated? And agree with Judy that it looks a bit dark--but I do love the dark background.
later and love, artie
