Big Bird!

This is a mighty fine image in my book Dennis - can't fault it - great BG, cracking colour and texture in the rock and the subject is great.

Top shot sir :toast: :toast:

Great pose Dennis, and I love that you managed to keep the whole rock in reasonable focus! I can see a bit of noise in the darker feathers on the bird (especially the tail and wing tip) although this would be expected at the iso. It might be something to look at in post procesing though!

Great shot :toast:

Great shot, love the pose. The yellow on the feet and bill really stand out. Looks a little bit bright on my screen, but could be my screen of course.

Very nice.... tis perhaps a touch on the light side but not much, it looks as if some dodging has been done on some of the plumage?

Cracking shot and as Phil says the dodging is appearing on my monitor to.Buta fine image all the same.

A nice capture of a majestic raptor, well done indeed. Contrast looks a little off on my screen ie. a bit flat. Easily fixable. :toast:

Nice work.
