I found this guy at the Fort Worth Nature Center. I liked the perch and the position of the feet.

Nice handling of the whites Jerry. Looks like he was getting ready take off or slipped. Is this a big crop? Maybe just a little soft.

Nice exposure on the whites. Interesting pose, too. If it were mine, I'd give it just a little more sharpening.

Jerry,
Great pose, I agree on the suggestions for a tad more sharpening

Thanks for all the comments.

Steve, this was a rather large crop.
