Hi
I love the eyes, maybe a little less head room?

Thanks Peter. You're absolutely right! I cropped some off the top and it looks much better.

What a handsome bird. Beautiful plumage and you caught a lot of the detail. Love that smoky gray on the back of the head and that electric red eye ring. Well seen and captured.

Really nice exposure. The foreground grass adds a lot to the image. Sharon
