Very tough lighting on these shots, and not enough reach to the lens! But despite those challenging conditions, the last one in particular is quite nice.

Rick you got some good closeups. Some fill flash or some post processing would help show more details particularly in the last two shots.

Since you had Image editing OK clicked I boosted thr gamma correction in one of your shots. Let me know what you think.

I like it but I find it a bit to bright when you look at the mouth of the bird it looks more blurry, but it does make some of the details stick out more wich does make the pictures look better. Thanks

Hi Rick. I did the adjustment on my uncalibrated work monitor so perhaps I overdid it. I just wanted to show you that there is still losts of details to expose.
