Hi Mike,

The patterns of color on the wings are very nice. I especially like the feather texture of the head and neck................Jim

Awesome pose, I like the high key look for this Mike. The large version on your site shows good detail. Great shot!

Hi Mike,

Interesting shot graphically. In most cases we often avoid shooting against pure white skies, but in this case I think it works well - adds almost a graphic feel to the image. I also like the strong diagonal flow on this one - partly owing to the direction of the perch, as well as by angle of the wings and where the bill is pointed. Neat shot...

Cheers...

Brad

I like the HK feel to this Mike and also like the diagonal branch coming through the frame. The large version shows nice. Good work.
