A nice portrait, and nice management of the harsh light. The detail in the bird is exquisite in the larger view.

Nice pose and excellent detail, Helena. A bit lower angle would have been nice, but that's often not an option.

Thanks everybody, a lower point of view was not possible because of the vehicle.
