Hi Howard,

Looks pretty good from here. For light overcast lighting looks harsh, but you took care of it with fill flash............................Jim

Excellent catch on this DF, Howard, with the full body and head nicely sharp. Getting all the hairs on the legs sharp like you did here is rare. I also like angles in the pose & perch and the clear space in front.
