That looks really freshly out of the nest. Good shot, Karen.

Another lovely shot Karen.You've caught the fluffiness of the feathering really nicely.I think I agree with Ian regarding the smaller rock hump.

Thats an excellent capture Karen, on the comp side of things, I would like to see just a little bit more of the perch, giving the image a little more room at the bottom. Love the BG too.
