Like the almost orange glow that the light gives to your image Ken, nice to see the bird so well captured from that angle.

Very nice light. Good detail and sharpness in the bird. You will have no trouble deciding what the subject of the image is.

Nice catch and pose in the evening light. There appears to be a little over-sharpening in the head.

Really like the evening light in this one Ken. Not trying to disagree....but I don't think the head looks over sharpened at all. I think it is just wet.
