    Very nice Jim especially the 4th shot. thumb.gif My biggest nit with the shots is that you can't see the eye in them. On the 4th shot you could try selecting the eye in PS and apply USM to it and maybe some levels to bring out the eye. Also try not to center your subject so much.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    These darn chickadees with the black cape kill me trying to catch the glint of the eye. PS is a bit of a mystery to me at this point. I've been playing with it a bit with limited positive results.:cry

    Thanks Harry, I'll work on the comp a bit and you will surely see more from me. This site has been a great helpbowdown.gif I really appreciate the suggestions.

    tiny little bit of flash will give you specular highlights on your eyes. You do need to raise your flash a bit to prevent redeye!

    Nice fun series!
