    a fantastic shot, but looks way too dark on my screen. I would exclude the whites and push the rest, so that you get a more pleasant image...

    Oh so sweet. What a bird. Wonderful photo with the low angle, very good head postion, and bent leg. Needs a bit of CW rotation and maybe a bit more room behind the bird. Keep 'em coming.

    Beautiful bird, details and exposure control. I agree with Artie's suggestions and there is a slight S/H halo around the black head plumage. I look forward to more of your images. :)

    Love the sweet bird. For me, it would be a bit more room at the bottom. Love to see birds I have no chance of seeing live. Thanks!!!!!
