Nice detail in the plumage and sweet light, Ken. A bit more room on the bottom would be nice.

Beautiful bird, well captured. As mentioned a little more room on the bottom and a little more shutter speed.

Beautiful species. Love the surroundings as well. And, yes, the virtual could have been included in a perfect world . Cheers, Hans

Love these guys!
I'd personally leave a bit more room below the legs, and darken the Bg to make the bird stand out more.
A fine image!
