Default Mono BoP series

the story so far........ im trying to create a series of shots of different birds of prey all shot and processed the same way......... to do this however i have to get the right bird in the right pose with the right type of background ( as I do not remove backgrounds it has to be dark enough to underexpose.) I also dont use flash in these shots so they are all done in natural light............

how hard can it be??? well it has taken me 2 years or thereabouts just to get this handful that I am happy with...... please let me know your thoughts.

hmmmmmmmmmmm yeah good thinking.
I was thinking 2 rows of 5 but 3 of 3 would work as well
and make it easier to get the remaining 4 shouts instead of 5! hahahah just need to find the right birds

My mate is a florist and she always drums it into me that for visual effect, 3 is the better number lol Apparently it draws the eye well but doesn't over excite the imagination or something equally bonkers like that xx
