Excellent! The lighting seems better on this one. You could crop a little of the negative space on the left.

I agree with Ian- the lighting makes this one a really special shot. If this isn't already crop, then I think it would look great as a print with this composition.

Tend to agree with Ian re cropping, but cropping is always very subjective/personal thing.

Did you try flipping it, sometimes it gives you a completely different image.

Still an excellent shot by any standard.

Lovely shot, beautiful light and good composition too. Perhaps a little more sharpening around the head area? Very nice!

Hi Michael,

Lovely bird and a top shot, I quite like the space on the left. The lights great and I like the little blur of the wing tips.

Love it as is.

Nice, might add a little more space below, difficult to judge sharpness on a web image but it looks like it might stand just a little more....

Another nice one MJ. Better light this time as well.

Both shots are lovely but with the light in this picture it makes this my favorite,two great shots of this beautiful bird Michael

this is the better of the two (IMHO). I like the almost diagonal comp and the light is great

well seen and captured
