I wonder if these wings work yet

Went to Pompano to visit with Bill's Dad who is ill and had a chance to run to Wakodahatchee for a few hours.

Nice warm light, and I like the almost clumsy look of this young fella. Some may prefer less room at right, but I love the included branches at right. Some jpg compression artefacts are visible in the BG as posted.

How would you eliminate the "jpg compression artefacts"

I really like the open look in its natural habitat and the slightly raised wings nicely done.

Beautiful lighting and wonderful action captured in this image . I too love the environment included in this image. Nice work and TFS Gen.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the setting, pose and soft light. Adding to the other comments, I might tone down the highlights a bit.

[Dan Busby]

I like the warm light, expression on the bird and the moment of capture. Also nice habitat that includes enough detail but not distracting. Well done.

I normally don't care for this win position, but mist admit it looks very cure here, the bewildered look helps too. Nice habitat, EXP control and comp. TFS.

Great setting and a lovely pose captured in good light.
