Excellent catch of the action, with good detail. A bit dark on my monitor.

Nice pose, Russell. The implied action is great. Exposure and detail look good.

Thanks Phil, I had adjusted my monitor and forgot to change it back, so it was very likely an issue on my end. Here's a version using adjustments that typically work for me in Lightroom processing.

Repost looks better....I like the implied action, but wish for a bit more of a turn towards us. Real nice details on the bird and face. Sharon
