Great to have you posting again Tom and will look forward to more. I like the pose in this image and the clean high key BG. Very nice eye contact and too as well as good color and detail. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I like this a lot, Tom. Very nice pose, composition, color, and detail. The subtle pastel background tops it off.

Tom, Great shot! I have been chasing these birds for the past few years and have aqlwas come up shot. Either I keep chasing them telephone lines or I am just too far away and the images come up soft. Anyway fine image.

Beautiful image! I can't quite decide whether or not I'd prefer some color in the background though.
