    Hi Dave, nice RWBB. Good job on the blacks, and certainly in his natural environment. TFS

    Dave, excellent exposure, good BG. I like the detail in the blacks and the pose on the cat tail. TFS

    Great BG, and IQ. I would consider a horizontal crop, if you have the space... for comparison...

    nice light and BG, I'd move the bird a bit lower to appear level with the viewer, it would have been ideal if he was slightly angled towards us.

    Lovely BG and the exp looks good. Angle could be better and I see a slight halo around the bird. I like that perch. Nice one Dave

    I like the comp as is, but I find the OOF cattails a bit distracting (the rest of the BG rocks!!). The blacks are well exposed, but there is a bit of a blue cast to it...you can pull down the saturation of the blue channel by about 40 points, it makes a nice difference. A bit more HA towards uswould have been super.
