Not an ideal angle, but the crop doesn't seem to have had much of an impact. Color and clarity have held up nicely. Comp also works well. Nice image!

Looks like your detail still held up pretty well, Ken. Nice job.

Remarkable IQ for the crop Ken, and nice to find it with a clean BG. Well done.

Nice isolation on this bird Ken. I do wish the angle wasn't as steep as it it, but we got to take what nature gives us. Glad you were able to get one out in the open though.

Well the steep angle already has been mentioned, but I am pretty sure you know about it. I also can confirm that getting this bird on a photo is not easy.
What is really very impressive is that the image contains good details altough you have cropped massively
