Possibly would have preferred a slightly better head angle, but wouldn't trade it for wing and body position, etc.
I also would like to thank everyone who makes observations and critiques of my images, they have certainly helped!!
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

A lovely capture, Bill. And once again your fract work is super. I love the composition. Possibly a bit cropped off the RHS and a bit of air added to the LHS may make a tad of difference. But it's lovely work. Kora

Another well composed image and great PP as usual Bill.:)

Bill, I agree with you 100% about the HA but like you said I wouldn't trade it for wing and body position ! I also think maybe the OOF fork on the right could be cropped -even though I 'm not a huge fan of tight crops. Nice processing work w/ the filter as usual:)

[Julie Kenward]

The body position and those FEET! Fantastic! Yes, not the perfect head angle but I wouldn't worry about it a lick...the rest of this image carries it for me.

Beautiful pose, Bill, and love the effect as usual. :) Don't mind the head angle. I do wish the branch didn't intersect the bird's head, but no big deal.

Hi Bill,
I love the fract on this and the head angle doesn't bother me at all. Really nice textures to this.
Best,
Nicki

[Harold Davis]
