What a striking pose Sharon! I like both perch and background and your composition couldn't be better.

I agree with the other on the comp and pose here Sharon. My only very small nit is that the head looks just a bit softer than the rear flank of the bird. Maybe a bit more sharpening on the head would improve that. Very nice as posted.

It's a really interesting pose you captured here Sharon, on my monitor it seems a touch dark. :toast:

Hi Sharon,
A species a like to shoot but mainly when they are off the ground/water. Definetly too dark but I do like the pose this one gave you.
