    Very nice Chad!!

    These little ones were very shy so you are lucky to have gotten pretty close to him.

    Excellent exposure, details and background

    Nice pastel colored BG (love the gradual change) and an interesting pose.

    Love the pose, the low angle and the superb bg.
    Excellent exposure and light as well.
    If you twisted my arm, I'd say get rid of the faint white blob on the left, and crop a bit from the bottom (although that's just a matter of personal preference)

    Chad, Nice low angle and pose. I would prefer more room on top than bottom especially since the reflection isn't great. I haven't gotten a preening pose or resting pose on turnstones yet so great job!

    Great shot, Chad. Beautiful colors, detail, pose. Wonderful light, exposure, and low angle. Before seeing Denise's comment above, my first (and only) nit was to have more space on top, less below. Still, a very sweet shot.

    Nice one Chad, like the super low angle, detail and color. Agree with a little off bottom.

    Great perspective Chad, and just love the contrast in this. The colours pop nicely. Comp wise, I would take a touch off the RHS, and a little off the bottom.

    What a beautiful shot, Chad. I guess I go against the grain when I say I like the comp just fine as is. What a great capture--the EXP, the sharpness, the pose, the BG. Excellent job!

    Thanks for the comments Guys and Gals, I must say Noelle was quick to spot this little beauty.. I had no Idea what kind of bird it was, this is a very large crop so I can add image in any direction without an problem.
