Very good photograph. Difficult subject well handled, nice OOF background. well done.L

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Great subject and nice BG, as mentioned above, this is a hard subject to work with.

Welcome Margo. Sharp with a nice BKGR. What a long bill. The bird's head is turned a bit too far and thus there is not much light on the face. Pointing the camera a bit more to the left would have resulted in a better COMP.

simple & elegant composition with lovely details & nice BG to go with.
