Superb detail and a great head turn, Bob. The comp works for me. If you're into cloning, I'd be tempted to remove the oof vertical branch/tree on the left.

Wonderful detail where it counts in the larger version. I might give a little more room on the left and the background is fine with me. I have yet to get a good shot of this bird, way to go.

The subtle lighting really brings out the richness of those colors, even the gray. Wonderful details! Very nice! Sharon

great details and a nice setting, Bob. comp feels too skinny to me--I'd like more room on the left.

Nicely captured Bob. For me I would like just a bit more room on the left. Nice head turn and excellent detail.

Hi,

I was examining this image the other day and what struck me was the contrasting colors of the beak and gray plumage. The composition is fine...............Jim
