Gorgeous light and colors, Ken. I like the subtle curve of the golden grass, which echoes the curve of the mound (and the bill!).

Beautiful light and a very good pose, Ken. The light on the bg vegetation really makes this image special.

Really nice pose and perch, Ken.
Those tones in the BG are also beautiful. Great image.
