The thing that strikes me most as far as critique goes is how detail is lost in the dark parts of the bird bodies. If you have any latitude in the raw in selectively raising the darks, if would help. It sounds oddball but if you lower the shadows a little, or at least leave them be, then raise the blacks a lot that can sometimes be better than raising the shadows, because it allows you to keep the middle opened up a touch.

They’re all pretty good but #1 I like best

The first and second are great images and my faves, but they are a great set of images that tell a story.

I like them all except for the last one, the blurred subject so close to the front does not work for me. I do think #1 and 2 are the best of the series. Poor little girl, all those birds taking her hair for their nest...naughty birds!

Nice series. The deer lose the coat this time of year, so they let the birds make use of it.
