Hi Cheryl, I like this fluffed up appearance. The white feathers at the center of the bird might be just a bit bright. Your settings make complete sense to me under the less than ideal lighting situation. A slightly lower point of view would be my other suggestion. Oh, and maybe have that second cup of coffee---your spelling in the title is almost as "challenged" as mine is most of the time. :biggrin:

Great comp, details, colors, and exposure Cheryl, it's a fun image IMO.
I love this pose with the bird up on its tip-toes and shakin' it all around..and that's what it's all about :biggrin:

Wonderful pose. The whites look fine in the original and maybe just a bit better in the repost. Even though there is less room in front of the bird I like the cropping on the original post.
