Jonathan it's good to see these birds back, cracking BG you have got this bird against,bird looks very good on that prickly perch.

Cheers Keith.

Great BG on this one, Jonathan...the light looks tricky, but I think you have just about nailed the exposure and a nice amount of detail has been captured.

[Tiago Caravana]

The BG is great, but the light is a bit harsh on the bird (not your fault, just the hour of the day). I would also like a bit of eye contact.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Nice fellow! nice light and I like how you were able to idolate it!

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpness.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thank you very much for you comments everyone.

Hi Jon
Missed this earlier . I reckon the head could do with a lttle more USM. I don't usually go for plain backdrops but this looks OK. Some nice "reedy " oof stems would sort of put the bird in place, Just my humble opinion.
One of my borey birds but we don't get them in the forest !!!
Cheers
John

Beautiful shot! Excellent pose and background!

Hi Jon, nice clean image. I tend, however, to agree that something else in the BG would take this image even further. Thanks for sharing as this is a great bird.
