Ken,
Striking colour. I like the simplicity of the image and the placement of the subject.

That is some wild color here Ken, I would have preferred more depth of field in this case, the head is plenty sharp but the body loses sharpness quickly.

Brad and Nate,
Thanks for your comments,regarding the DOF comment I think that given the lens involved a greater DOF would have been difficult. I could not have got nearer as the subject would have run away
