Another image I made near Roma, Texas on the Ramirez Ranch during a Greg Downing photo workshop.

I tried to make this one appear a bit on the bright side on my Mac thinking it will be just about right for those viewing it on a PC.

Thanks for looking.

Lovely shot and a great perch. Very good considering the composition variables.

Its a bit low in contrast but overall brightness is good. Very nice shot!

Great pose...and of course a wonderful perch. It looks nice and bright on my mac but I think that with the added brightness it could use a little more saturation or contrast.

I agree about the brightness. I like it though. Especially the background and perch

Looks a little bit flat on my laptop, Scott, but that could be on my end.

Nice shot, other wise.

I like the composition with the bird just at the top of the perch. The bg color is also quite pretty.

Scott, an excellent shot. As you know we all see different things on our monitors but this looks fine on mine.

Good shooting with you and looks like you cleaned up!

Nice shot, Scott!
I too like to see a bit more contrast in this one ...

I agree with E.J. Needs just a touch more contrast. I really like the composition.
