Another frm the wonderful Alan Murphy workshop. We called in a horny roadrunner and he performed for us several times, with and without a grasshopper offering, from the ground and also a high perch. More to come later. See him in the OOB forum. This is one wild bird!

George,
This is close to full frame but I shaved a little bit from the front and back to make the image more square
Thanks for the suggestion, I will use it when I print.

Agree with Norm; the repost is far better as it is nice and roomy. Love the SH and the skin behind the eye. You are a bit short on head angle but still a pleasing image.

Like repost better as well b/c of more room. The HA works here b/c it is such a unique bird and really shows off its facial features. There are so many details here and a lovely BG>
Repost is much better comp-wise...I don't feel as claustrophobic looking at it I would give the repost the same amount of room behind the head as the first image though. Lots of good details, well done.
I like this shot a lot also. It's a great hair do well captured. I was in Yuma recently and missed seeing one of these by seconds...I hate that...!
A question though, did you resharpen the repost a little more? There seems to be a few sharpening artifacts or something above the top beak not found in OP.
