Hey Christopher, I love the grassy mound this little is standing on. Good background, nice light. Balanced composition. Although the image looks properly focused I feel that another round of sharpening for web presentation would help with the fine detail.

I like the pose, HA and complimentary BG. I would crop up from the bottom to eliminate some of the mud. I too would sharpen it a little more. Nice image Chris.

Thanks for looking and comments.

Nice muted light suits the subject well. Another vote for another round of sharpening.

Yes I like the image too, I am wondering if it is just a tad dark I suspect it would be worthwhile lifting the shadows a little.

Excellent image in nice lights. Nice grassy perch, background, beautiful colors in the frame and superb composition.

Regards,
Satish.
