A very friendly species, found in most of our deserts.

All C&C are appreciated and thanks for looking.

Very nice, love the BG and HA, well done.

Nice and sharp with lovely colours and smooth BG to highlight the textures of the bird. Unclear on the need for -0.67 EC as bird seems a neutral tone and BG bright so if anything may have fooled the meter into underexposing.

Sweet shot, lovely detail on the feathers.

[Aidan Briggs]

Sweet light, "desert" BG, and sharpness. Feels a bit tight on the top, and bottom.

Does feel a bit tight for me but and otherwise beautiful image.

Don't feel small tech adjustments are a problem as there is more latitude than you think if your post production is as good as your shooting. I believe post production is critical to the photos perfection.

Lovely color harmony Gal. Good pose, bg an dHA. Neat shot.

Great bird, and lovely BG. The head angle is not the best but still a wonderful image.
