I really like the warm colors in this and the bird's pose. If you have the room, moving the bird to the left just a little would make the comp just about perfect for me. Sharon

Great Pose with his neck outstretched. Agree with the leftward movement. Might even be able to add some canvas over to the right since the edge is repetitive.

Nice to see you back.

Barry, I have to disagree with others onthis one. I like your use of the negative space. His glare in that direction and using that space makes me more interested in what he is looking at. I think the comp is perfect as posted! The small version and thuimbnail jsut do not do this justice. People really have to look at the large version.

Nice capture, Barry. I agree with Sharon's suggestion to add just a bit more space on the right. A nice capture none-the-less. :smile:
