Love the color scheme of this shot Sandy. Nice overall comp and the bird is nice and sharp with good DOF. Exposure looks good. Well done overall.

A nice shot of this southwestern specialty. I like the typical posture. Good size in the frame and nice viewing position. I'd adjust the overall color a bit - this has a bit too much blue (or magenta?) in it.

Very nice capture, Sandy.

I like what looks like a Sepia treatment to the image.

Watch out for the chiggers in that neck of the woods!

Cheers,

Carol

Nice image of the Roadrunner with the crest and tail raised. I like the dry-barren environment. Composition and DOF is excellent. I'll hold off on my RR images for a while. Dottie

I really like the pose you have captured Sandy with the tail and crest up. Nice job on the exposure in what looks light some pretty strong light. It does appear to have a bit of a color cast to it. Maybe a slight tweek of the color balance.

Sandy a great shot with lovely detail and that splash of blue on the almost Sepia shot is fantastic

Excellent capture Sandy. It standos out beautifully against the BG. Your choice of F stop was dead on the mark. The raised crest is a nice plus.

Perfect pose with excellent details and a natural setting. I like the color as is.
