    Nice action here. Well exposed with good comp. I do see a bit of a halo and image looks a bit soft.

    A bit tight, but wonderfull light, pose, BG, ddetail and colors, I wish to see it bigger and that the bird was looking a bit more towards you. Congratulations!

    Too bad it landed angled away from you, but your timing was impeccable! I also wish to see more room around - the square comp would work better with the bird moved further to the left, otherwise adding room bottom and right would be good.

    Hi Bill. I love the pose, but I wish the bird were pointing towards you. I'd also like to see a bit more room on the top, bottom, and right of the frame. Remember that you can post up to 1024 pixels wide or 800 pixels tall.
