Nice looking bird, a bit smaller in the frame and less centered would look a bit better for me.

nice capture Phil,like the pose,like the hook on end of its beak,nice BG,and perch.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Nice shot, I think the right shoulder is a little hot and there appears to be a slight blue cast on the chest/belly area.

[Rachel Hollander]

I like the HA and eye contact, Phil. Agree about the shoulder being a bit hot and the blue cast in the shadows on the chest.

TFS,

I agree the subject is a bit big in the frame and the shoulder is blown, but I love the details and inquisitive pose. Great perch and BG.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Very nice subtle head turn and the resulting eye contact. wouldn't mind tad more room below. Excellent details.

Thx for sharing. had not seen a shot of this bird before.
