Don, I like the sharp detail and color in the wing. Nice capture of the action here.

Watch the HA police, this is normal behavior and I like that! Exposure techs look good, I would work the eye more (lighter). Otherwise like the habitat and nice mood - TFS.

Hi Don

Would be happy with this beauty flapping !!!

Looks over sharpened and would be good to go after the head area only !! Can make a brush and soften the bg a bit more !!

Bird is looking a way but doesn't bother me at all, birds seems to be looking at something and looks pleasing !! Good exposure and nailed the pose !!! ... always happy when I come home with one keeper !!!

The female wings are very colorful and this is a great time with them displaying and all - looking forward to more from you.

Hi Don....I too never realized the colors were there either until the other day when I was shooting the same. I agree that it looks oversharpened! keep them coming!
