Very nice. It all works for me: composition, background, detail, perch, and nice head turn.

Hi Sandy
You do get around. I like the head turn and framing.

The composition and colors are excellent Sandy, in the large version the details don't hold up that well so I am thinking it may have been a large crop.

Really nice pose and comp, Sandy. I'm with Nate about detail in the larger one, but very good all the same.

Everything about this is nice Sandy. The pose, perch and background all make a fine image. I also noticed the softness in the larger version. Maybe a large crop like Nate said. Love the nice soft color palette.

Beautiful shot Sandy. The BG really set it off nicely. Everything is prefect.

Sandy, this is really nice. It almost seems like the perfect subject for this particular spot. The brown plumage blends into the surroundings, and then--BAM--the splash of white leaves no doubt where the eye should be drawn.
