A very cute bird, Ken. With that gorgeous red rump, a bit higher f-stop to get more dof would have been nice to show it off better.

That is one beautiful bird, Ken. Kind of a tough angle to get the depth of field you need. A bit higher f stop may have helped but it looks like you were dealing with some low light. Thanks for posting this beauty.

I like the upside down view and comp. Only wish was he gave you a bit more head turn, but they never seem to cooperate. Still nice work as usual Ken.
