Followed this critter around for a while. I liked this best of the photos I took.

Hey Allan,
You might get the HAP on you here...but I'm not a card carrying member just yet(parrallel is OK with me)....and the pose and BG are very nice. I may tone it down a hair....but I do tend to like the images a hair darker. Nicely done.

Roman is right Alan- I little head angle toward you would have been optimal. Otherwise nice sharpness, lighting, exposure and low angle. I would do a CW rotation to straighten up the image.

Angle, details and light are great. If the bird would have walked toward you, the head angle would most likely be no issue.
