Alan I do like the pose and the super detail but not so sure about the shadow across the bird :confused:but I sure wish it was mine.

Alan, I would check your setting for web presentation, as the files posted show an untagged profile and therefore may not be portraying your images as well as they might be. By ensuring it has the correct profile this may also help reduce the very vibrant/saturated colours, albeit a little? Probably down to some unchecked boxes in PS.

cheers
Steve

Its great that your getting so close to the subject here Alan but perhaps a shorter lens woul;d help here as for me it is a little BIF :wink:

BIF and I like the dichotomy of light and shadow.
