I like the perch, the background, and the looking back pose. It might be a little bright for my taste. Excellent shot.

James, Perfect exposure and composition. Beautiful complimentary BG. I like the pose and fine details. Nice to see you posting again:)

[Karl Egressy]

This is the kind of shot I like the most, Jim. (Other than your fantastic flight shots)
Great pose simple but appropriate perch and beautiful multicolored background with the colours gently bleeding into each other. It is a winner in my book.<O:p

[Markus Jais]

A beautiful shot with great light and colors. Wonderful BG and great composition.
This is a really beautiful bird.

Good look back pose James, sharp, and love the light and colours. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the top.

Benn mising your photos James, lovely pose and BG, details perfect. TFS

[Doug Brown]

It's good to see you back here buddy! Sharp and nicely exposed. Great light and a nice BG.

[Mark Schmitt]

The EV's look good. Good resolution. Mabey it's me, but there appears to be a color aberation where the gray and greens of the BG blend. All else = nice. ;)

[Nick Palmieri]

Like the BG and the yellow colors in the bird. Very nice exposure and nice pose on the bird.

[Ofer Levy]

Great to see you posting my friend! Nice and clean shot with lovely pose and BG.

[James Salywoda]

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Love the bird, the pose, and the BKGR. EXP and brightness look perfect. There is something funky going on left of the bird with a smudged green arc.... It might be a distant o-o-f reed...

Your guess was perfect Artie :) They are uneven dirt mounds overgrown with spring weeds. Thanks for the comment.
I guess I could have smoothed it out but I was lazy about it I noticed it too.:D

[Lorant Voros]

Nice pose and exposure, light and BG...apart from the little part Artie mentioned.Love the feet grabbing the reed. Nice to see you posting again, James.
