    Love the stick, the soft light, and the drooped feet. Wish that the bird did not merge with the vegetation. The vegetation however is very sweet looking.

    Ken:

    Artie covered the important points. I find the bird just a bit dark, and might consider trying a version with the exposure brought up 1/3 to 1/2 stop to open up the shadows under the wings a bit. Will have to watch the highlights on the head though.

    Do you have a frame just a bit earlier when the bird was clear of the vegetation?

    Cheers

    Randy

    Great pose with those hanging feet and nice golden light.

    Great capture. Nice light and pose. I agree that the wings are a little too dark.
