Fantastic details Joe, great colours and just the right amount of sharpness. The bird fits in well with the BG. Well done and thanks for sharing

A very good solid portrait of a GBH.
Nice details and good IQ,
Gail

I'm with Gail. A solid portrait of this species. Good pose and exposure. He seems to be getting some color on his lores.

Great portrait of the GBH! The IQ and feather details are excellent and the background color looks great! TFS
