These are excelent Brain. There are a couple of bright spots in the background you might want to darken before printing. The first is my pick

Excellent images, Brian! Although the first one is great but the branch/twig in the middle is kind of taking away from it. If you are up to cloning, you could clone it out using the content-aware feature of PS but if you a purist, then leave it the way it is. In that case, the last image is better, IMHO.

Gorgeous portraits, Brian! The bird is certainly beautiful in its own right but I also like the detail of those incredibly tenacious feet.

Nicely done; thanks for posting.

One of the coolest birds around. They can climb those skinny stalks with easy and you've captured the behavior perfectly!

Nice set of images! I particularly like the first two since they show the bird's extraordinary feet so well.

Morris

Thanks, Morris but I don't mind the light spots, as they are the fireflags flowers or buds. I do print almost everything to 20" wide, as prints are important to me.

Thanks for your advice, Joshua. I am more of a purist and will just go out and try to do better next time.

Thanks, Dorian. It is pretty amazing what they have to put up with on those stalks to get a meal.

Yes Dave. They say his big feet are needed to walk across the lily pads.
