Nice image Richard. Good exposure and nice pose. I like the head turn as it displays the beak and the eye nicely. Like the hint of vegetation in the bg. Lovely specie. TFS.

Richard, liked the strong diagonal comp. and vegetation is much better than having just the sky. Some more room on the right would be preferable, IMO.
