These are great Lonnie. I like the first one, even with the clipped wing. Might give it a tad more room at top and right. Nice going.

Thanks guys. It is actually a full frame shot with no cropping. I wish I had more room but it was 2 shots, I chimped and it was gone!

Patti,
It was nice lighting and thanks for dragging me out there.

Too bad you cut that wing off in #1 Lonnie. You've portrayed its colors very well!
