I captured this guy a couple weekends ago out at Antelope Island State Park here in northern Utah... the background is the edge of the Great Salt Lake off in the distance, down a good ways below this rock ledge.

Nice color tone to this one. I like the perch and the bird is a handsome subject.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, pose and eye contact and only wish for a better light angle.

[Fabs Forns]

Wow, what a bird!!! I like the light angle in this one, it gives definition to the subject and the face is fully lit. BG rocks!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful bird, nice perch and BG. Would it have been possible for you to move to your right more in order to get better light angle? Although I don't mind said light angle on the body, I find I'm wanting the face in more direct light...

[Nate Chappell]

I really like the subtle sidelighting in this image John, for me there's enough light on the face for it to work well, although a bit more of a headturn might have been nice. Lovely smooth bg.
