Wayne, I like the exposure which balances between the side lit whites and the shadowed whites. You have captured the detail in both area very well. I like the comp with the wooded background showing the enviornment. Overall a very enjoyable image to look at.

Thanks

Harry

I like this as posted. Nice dramatic light; good habitat without overpowering the subject.

Amazing capture, Wayne. Suggest darkening the Upper RC so the brightness does not detract from the bird.

Nice full wing shot Wayne. Great light, nice detail, and I like the soft subtle background.

Wonderful job in getting this difficult contrast image, the way the light comes through both wings really adds a nice touch, well done.

I like the filtered morning light, great detail Wayne, Nice job on the exposure of the whites, shooting into this much darker wooded BG too.
Well done! :toast:
