Please forgive me for not posting re-work sooner - I agreed with the comments to darken the neck area, but didn’t get to it promptly

Cool portrait, Sandy. I like this kind of pose. To my eye it looks like the whites could come down a little bit. Was this at Falcon Lake? The campers used to feed them there. Beep-beep.

Such attitude! Great capture.

Nice pose. I like it when they’re looking right at you. A humorous image. I also agree the whites especially on the neck could be dropped Decreased highlights. My bring on some more feather detail.

Hi Sandy, love this pose with both eyes still very much visible to us. Well seen and taken. Agree with toning down the whites. A fun image for sure. I’d love to get a roadrunner shot as I find them fascinating birds but they are not in my home range. Nice catch.
