Yesterday I posted some shots of a Junco and Titmouse. I got overly "aggressive" during PP and missed the mark. A very helpful forum member helped me see I was making PP more that what it should be. Here are the exact same Junco and Titmouse shots with much less PP.

What do you think? Any improvements? C&C is always welcome.

The detail & tone is exceptional, along with a couple classic poses... pretty compositions.

Dave, these are excellent. I don't recall seeing the others. (If it was more than 20 minutes ago, it could be my faulty memory.)

Thanks much, Duane! You've been a big help. Now I feel responsible to make sure your PM feature is well used and working properly. :lol:
