Wade, very nice job on a bird with high contrast between the lights and darks. Good eye contact and feather detail. Nice job on your settings... I agree a bit more room at the bottom would be nice and is possible with PS work. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Excellent capture of an elusive bird. Yes, a little more room on the bottom would be nice. but this is still a great catch, Wade.

I love that red eye, and the catchlights really add.
