Nice catch, Lance. I see these little guys in the trees at Wako. You caught him just right. I even like the BG. Nice light.

Hi Lance,
Nice focus on this little guy. Even though the bg is busy in this location, you have managed to soften it. Good job! If it were mine I think I would crop more off the left so as not to have the P.W. as centered. I think I would take out the orange leaf just above its head and maybe tone down the white just above and below its tail.
The speed of the P.W. and its busy environment are always a challenge so you have created a successful image with beautiful detail!

Great call, Arlene, especially getting rid of the orange distraction! Thanks :)
