A pair of these came through the other day gathering nesting material. The Sun and rain kept trading places but I got a few keepers.

Excellent close detail, and I like the birds classic pose James.
Great BG in this full frame shot, you were close. I little tight up top is all.
I'd be tempted to clone out a few of the branches in the left corner front, and directly below the birds head also.
I've found that the best shots (with regard to details) using my 2x, are when I can fill the frame with my subject.
As seen here Well done

Nice detail and light on this fast moving subject. Background gives it POP.

Beautiful shot James.
great pose and the background sets off the bird's colours brilliantly.

Very cool active pose James. Love the sharpness on the head particularly. I think you could crop off a little from the left side to eliminate the overhanging twig and still have enough lead room in front of the bird. Well done.
