Scott:

I think the female hoodies are quite attractive in a more subtle way than their show boat mates.
She is sharp and well exposed, like the environment and colors.

I might take a look at toning down the reads above her just a little.

Cheers

I like the colours Scott, and good low angle too. Maybe a little tight behind the tail.

beautiful looking bird, nice light and the habitat shown in the Bg adds well here..

Nice to see the female of this species Scott. Lovely light exposure and eye contact. I like Randy's suggestion of toning down the reeds a little.
