Dave:

Great detail in the feathers. Looks like he stuck his bill in the electrical outlet.

Perfect exposure for me. Like the painted canvas effect of background.

Excellent eye.

I might add just the smallest sliver of canvas to the top.

Cheers

Nicely done. I love the head angle, the BKGR, the SQ crop, and the bird coming in right from the corner.

Which ranch?

[Dave Mills]

Hi Art, The ranch where we met(forgot the name) but I shot it in the afternoon with your associate...

[Rodney Flowers]

I like the feathers sticking up and the composition. I can't think of anything for improvements.

Dave, Nice feather details and pose. I like the sharp eye and lovely BG.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Stunning portrait with excellent feather detail and eye contact. Like your choice of crop too Dave. Well done.

Ah, that would be the Cozad Ranch. Great place.

Awesome image with great details and spot on exposure

Looks like he stuck his bill in the electrical outlet.

Agreed with Randy here
