Hi Gary Glad I'm not the only one taking images of those birds !!!!

Elegant pose showing the backside Usually prefer the head sideways to show the eye Would crop from the right to take bird out of the center Lovely image !!!!

Hi Gary, nice image, well done. is this a large crop as it seems a little noisy? Also there seems to be some lack of contrast or ghosting around the neck.

Hey Gary,
Very nice image, my only beef is to off set your subjest in the frame; get him out of the center...:D

Not the prettiest of birds by far, but they do present numerous opps. Agree with position of bird in frame. Was also wondering about size of crop due to apparent noise. At iso 320 you would not expect it. Nice image overall.
