I think I would prefer the bird a little further to the left, Ron, but this is still a stonking shot.

Wonderfully sharp eye and face detail Ron.

Have you tieded up around the legs/feet area though as something looks slightly odd on my screen ?

Cheers

A beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. I would like him a little more to the left looking "into" the image.

A cracking shot Ron and I would be delighted to have taken this. Perhaps a touch more space at the top but just a minor thing.

Hi Ron,
I read the story behind this image elsewhere which adds to the overall message. Maybe the story could be added here as well? A great image and always good to see in the open.

Maybe a little tight at the top and some correction of the nits already mentioned.

Cheers

Austin
