    Default I was thinning out my files yesterday and.....

    Happened upon this frame from James Shadle's boat last year. Never got around to processing it before. Go figure!

    Great pose. Nice colors and sharp too. The feet and rear of the bird maybe could use a little brightening.

    Always thinning files here. Nice one Doug. I like the slight lifted head and eye contact as well as the bg.

    A beauty, Doug. Love the wing position and flight angle, and the bird is nicely set apart from the lovely BG.

    Gorgeous capture Doug. I love the angle of the bird and the wing position. He stands out nicely from the BG. Exposure looks great. Great to find these hidden keepers in your old files!

    I just love the pink on green. The IQ is terrific as is the head angle. His eye is looking right at you! No nits from me,

    Very nice focus and DOF, Doug.
    Everything sharp and a nice POP from the BG.

    Just Kidding-looks like we pressed the shutter at the same time! and of course it is a great shot it's amazing to see we almost get exactly the same frame every single time ;)

    Ah! when I first saw the photo, I did get the deja vu feeling.
