David:

Good pose with that long bill. Well exposed, good detail. Shallower dof would have been nice to further blur the bg, but perhaps not possible with your combination.

Cheers

Yep Randy, this is wide open for this glass. Luckily I was able to crawl behind a guard rail and stop right behind one of the large posts as I got on sun angle to get close enough for this separation. The BG is our state tree, the sabal palm, and yes not ideal but meaningful for this Florida boy.
Peace,
David

Pleasing colours, the background could be muted or homogenised to some extent if you wished but it doesn't trouble me. I would suggest a little extra selective sharpening on the head.
