That's not a bad shot. I like the vertical stacking of the birds in the horizontal frame. You need to go back in a week or so when the male is in full breeding plumage and tell the female to keep her tail feathers out of the male's face :-) How much cropping and/or post-processing was involved? It looks like some sharpening artifacts are visible on the female's head. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
