Nice and sharp for handheld. Well done.

IQ, exposure, BG, details, HA...everything looks good, Sanjeev.

A shame they are so disliked by so many, they really are lovely looking birds and the detail in this is extra nice especially up against such a smooth backdrop

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Thanks Alan, Kaustubh & Phil. I agree Phil that they are oft neglected but are really nice birds! And Alan, I leaned against a wall to take this hand held shot. The IS did help.
