Bill,
You have great colours detail and pose here. Depending on your "ethics" I would consider trying to do something about the 2"wigs" at the top of the head :toast: :toast:

Nice capture. Most of these guys that I see are buried in the canopy. You did a great job getting a clear shot. Well done.

Very nice capture with good detail Bill, I like the pine cones on the right, an interesting setting for this bird and the colors are complementary. :toast:
