Hi Ken Early morning images do have a strong appeal !! Excellent light on this bird.

Good exposure and did fine going to manual with the changing bg !! Love the close up wing, wish the other was higher and not intercepting the head but a big keeper for me !! Would select the eye an darken pupil then run some usm over the head, slight !!

In this case the square crop looks fine and its well place in frame with a little extra room on the right. Excellent !!!

Hi Ken, Al covered all the bases. Good environmental image where the backround is not intrusive. The lighting is excellent!

sweet sweet early morning light - AL has pretty much nailed it. might just clone out the other bird in the BG does draw attention to that spot.
Good show :)
