Alan,

Very nice shot. The breeding colors are beautiful. I like the vertical composition with the bird high in the frame.

Getting a decent scanner certainly must have made a great difference with your previous shots. This is so different.....love that little sneaky guy. The setting is excellent. A little more contrast definitely added to this image. The only other thing that I can think of to add is my signature ......"I hate you"!!!

Sweet shot... is it my eyes or is it perched cross-legged? Looks limber!

Nice Alan--I've never had a clean shot at one of these guys. I prefer your original with less contrast.
