Great close-up with good exposure, showing feather details that I didn't know were present on this species. I guess I've never seen them in this good light. Nice BG, too.

Looking good. Nice pose and detail on the bird. Like the log perch and the low angle. Water drops are another plus here.

Hi Jon, nice work. My first experience with this species, your image shows it well. The darks and lights on the bird look good, color and detail as well. I like that the tuft and feet show, a lower POV might not have shown the feet. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful capture, Jonathan. Like the pose, low angle, and lovely background.
