Sweet gorget but a little hot on the sunny side. Belly very dark. IAC, a crop from the bottom would be a big improvement. Right now the bird is lost in the frame.
later and love, artie

Thanks everyone. It is really interesting to see the comments on some of my older images. I can't wait to get out and get some new subjects, but right now it's all Canada Geese and Gulls around here :D
I forgot to mention that this one probably goes along with my "farmer Jim" title bestowed by Artie as it is a big crop too.
Sid, You're right that this is an image from the very start. I got my first DSLR in the beginning of April of 04 so it was real close.
I've been really tempted to scrap my whole collection prior to about 06, but I'm attached to a few of the images :D
