    Sharp and well exposed. I like the included mountains. The crop seems a little too square; too bad the bird wasn't a little closer to the mountains. Then you could have gone with a 2x3 ratio.

    Sharp, good light and a wonderful pose. The inclusion of the mountains also serves to 'anchor' the image.

    Mike, loved it. Hills add a lot. Bird is perfectly parallel and very unique pose with those dangling legs. Excellent light...

    Thanks to all for the comments/suggestions!

    Here's another version with some canvas added on the right to get back to a 4x6 aspect ratio.
