It is a touch tight, but your usual great light. Are you sure you don't carry a gold reflector around with you :P

Nice light. I agree a little more room would have helped, but it's not so tight as to be a problem.

Good job of getting such a clean shot if this BCNH. Yeah, a little tight but certainly not an image killer. I agree, it's best not to go over the rail. :lol:

No nit from me, Richard! Tight composition gives strong visual impact to the viewers. I like it as is ... :D

Best

Beautiful image, Richard. The light is perfect. If done properly, tightness=tension, and this is right on the money.

Beatiful light and great pose. You had flash fill right? If you did, you did an excellent job with it.

Love it. The pose of the bird seems crouched in, so it's not too tight in the frame at all. Light is killer too.

You've done a fine job of showing this understated bird to advantage. IMO this is so much nicer than the overly colorful birds that lots of people perfer.

Well done.
