A difficult bird to photograph with finesse. I like the raised foot and the perch adds interest. I enjoy seeing the entire tail as well. Nicely done.

I just love the soft muted light on this Ronnie. Effective use of light is one of your signatures. Great depth of field for being, effectively, wide open. What a beautiful bird. Wish we had these out West. Superb Ronnie.

Always impressed with the details and color you pull out... everything is so subtle. Is that a N membrane I see though? That would be the only nit.
