Love everything including the butter light but the near-wing position is well less than ideal. The first few secondary feathers on the far wing could use an increase in density; they are a bit bright compared to the rest of the wing.

Perhaps our monitors are set perfectly. I see lovely soft detail in both the brightest and darkest parts of the bird. A perfectly sharp image, noiseless, with no hint of over-processing. An exposure to delight my eyes.
Lovely pose Judy! Nice sharpness, love the dangling legs and good light. If anything I would suggest to maybe try to lighten the shadow on the front wing a bit more. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you all for your comments and Artie my question to you is how do you increase the density? I appreciate what you are saying but have never come across a situation where I had to do this that I am aware of. Thanks again everyone for looking .
