Very nice set Joe. You might want to check the white balance for the second image as it's a bit lavender. Lovely otherwise

Thank you Morris. That makes sense as these first two were taken in heavy shadows and I brought them up quite a bit in post. I'll revisit them tonight and see if I can tweak it a bit.

Nice work Joe. I really like the soft background on 1&2.

Hello Joe

Cardinal was interested in your camera gear! Very nice shot on the Chickadee (agreed a bit on the magenta side), Anhinga shot is nice, maybe lift the shadows a bit more or the overall exposure as these all look a bit dark on my monitor.

Welcome to the forum as well

Thank you. Yeah, I struggle with exposure matching at times. I should probably lower my PC monitor brightness a notch or so.
