Very nice Jon. Great tonal range and getting the bird to sit still for the long exposure is a definite plus. Keep posting them! Jon
 
Like a chinese painting...
 
Believe it or not birds like to pose!! Nice Jon. Get yorself a 60 watt bulb and a varialble inline switch. Put it on very low on a sqeegeed print and your drydown will disappear..

Nice scene. For me, the contrast is way too high. There's no sky or shadow detail. No grey levels in the tiny tonal range.
 
Hi, thanks for all the comments. I think the main problem is with the sky being too light at the edges, and the smudge looking thing. However, the print does have a full range of tones, just not apparent on the internet and everyones different monitor.
