Hi Mike...

This one is wonderful. It's one of those rare photographs that evokes a mood and causes the viewer to stop and appreciate the moment.

What a nice compliment, Tom! I truly appreciate your kindness with words.

From top to bottom this is one terrific portrait: detailed feathers, excellent exposure, lovely pose and sinuous curves so well delineated by the dark background. Great work, Mike!

Holy smokes, Steve. I have never had such glowing, kind compliment and review on any of my photos before. You are way, way too kind, but having said that, I sincerely thank you, and appreciate your graciousness.
