Sweet close-up of this fellow with it's meal Jefferson Excellent details and the light looks fine to me. It might make a nice vertical composition too.

Very sharp portrait you managed here. The spider is a nice bonus. Thanks for sharing.

I like this a lot Jefferson. The details in the bird are right on, clean BG and the spider tops it off.

Jefferson: very nice pose, clean background with the spider being a big plus. If that's not ideal light, I'd still be more than happy with it. Richard
