Nice capture of this guy. Like the composition and that green background. Image quality looks great here. You've gotta love that close focusing distance of the 100-400II.

I like the wing tilt that lets you see all 4 wings clearly. Nice sharpness, light, and background, too! I'd be tempted to crop a little off the left - but it's a minor point. And if I was to be really picky, I would wish the the ends of the perch hadn't been cut off square with a clippers. :S3: Other than that, this is an excellent image!

Thanks John, Steve I appreciate your feedback. The cut ends grate on me too Steve, I have been looking all around for a nicely tapered twig but to no avail so far.
