Hey Jim,

Thanks for the positive feedback. When I was complaining about lighting, I was referring to a few specific things. The first was that the room was filled with floursecent lighting. The second was that there were several pipes and other obstructions in the cieling. This made bouncing the flash very difficult for me. The fact that there is more shadow in these files than what I normally produce speaks to this, I believe.

I am glad that they came out, but they were work. LOL. The last image I did a little PS work to slightly re-saturate the yellow feathers on the head (specifically, I used the paintbrush tool with an opacity of about 5% to go over the areas I was not happy with) as the flash had popped a bit hotter than I like. On the finished product, you can not really tell that I had edited the file.
