Hi Phil You did get light and all the tech settings look good .. exposure right on !!!

.. now all you need is to get him landing on a smaller perch !!! Excellent !!!

[Dave Leroy]

Good for you to be ready.

I like the pose and the exposure.

It would be nice if bird was a little bit lower to show the feet and just need a more natural perch.

I also like the feather details.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Phil, Nice job with the techs. Agree with comments above regarding a more natural perch...

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Good exposure which show good feather details, not easy with black bird, well done. Nice pose with good HA, wish that the feet is visible too. I maybe sharpen the eye a bit more.

Hi Phil - doing well, agree with the above comments - just a better perch.
Keep em coming :)

Thanks for the comments guys you have already been a big help. I'll need to learn more about selective post processing skills.

I do have a couple more from this weekend that I'll upload 1 per day.

Cheers

Is that a Red Wing or Tri-colored Black Bird? Nice Shot. Good Details.
