An incredible image, clean, sharp and well composed. Very well done, can't find a thing I'd change.

Nice Sandy, I bet there was a big smile on your face when you got this one.

Great bird, congrats on the capture. The perch and background are pretty staid, so the emphasis is definitely left on the bird.
