Have only seen this species once in the wild with it perched on a telephone wire near STA5. When the bird took flight it was very clear how the species got its name. I especially like your point of view. Your proximity to the bird almost seems to offer a SP reflection in the eye.

nice details and pose!!!

I really like the pose and the Background. a few spots at the back of the head, easily removable, otherwise very nice.

Great portrait shot with wonderful details, Stuart.
I was wondering if an 8x10 crop, adding a little more space to the front would have worked better.
I actually almost always like the 8x10 vertical over 5x7 or 8x12.

Cool portrait Stuart.
