Beautiful image Ken. I like the ruffled feathers and frilled perch tip mirroring each other. Nice pose, and appealing comp in its simplictity.

Ken,
wow, I say again wow... love the colors and sharpness here, DOF is awesome as is the composition. a Tremendous image! My only wish is that the perch were not frayed but certainly an image for the wall... Congrats!

Ken, Bee-eaters always seem to produce super poses and HA's. Colours look great, and Im glad you posted a vertical crop.
