Very nice. :judge:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Thanks for the comments everyone ....
Hymakar - I was thinking about your comment and thought back to the light source for each of these images. One was taken in the morning (harrier) with the sun behind me and the other was taken in the afternoon (wood duck) again with the sun behind me. I personally liked the morning light better than that of the afternoon. The difference might be the color of the birds. The female Harrier is a soft tan/brown colored bird and does not have the spectacular "pop" of colors that the Wood Duck has. I do appreciate your thoughts on the two images.
