Nice shot, beautiful background and good action. Wish there is more space in front of the bird to fly out. Thanks for sharing. Manoj :smile:

I like the pose and the bugs in her mouth maybe a little to centered for my taste and it appears just a little to light on my laptop.

Hi Vanessa, I like the bug, perch and BG. Did you use a flash? It looks like you did from viewing the image, but you don't list on in your techs. I might off-center this a touch more if it were mine. Also, when I click on view large image, it is actually the same size you are showing here. You can load up to 1200 pix long side at 500kb. It helps when critiquing a lot!

I like the composition of this image. The worms in the mouth and the way the bird is stretched out. Did you use a flash on this image. It has a bit of a glow like a flash was used.

I did use flash, which I think I should have toned down. Thanks for all your comments.
