Great shot. The colors really make the bird pop from the background. I like the muted background vs the sharpness of the bird. Well done.

The large image has to be seen for the detail in the black plumage to come through. Seriously good! A little crop from the right and the bottom would get the bird off center and cut down on the light tan grasses at the bottom

Interesting bird. It has good sharpness and detail. For me the background is a bit distracting. In a perfect world it would have been nice to have an all blue sky background. It is out of focus enough to not be a deal breaker.

I like this as posted Ken. The large version really shows off the detail in this image. Well done!

Beautiful bird, beautifully photographed. Your comment makes me think he needs to take a break now. :)
