I know I'd certainly love to have this image in my files, looks like a large crop. I like the birds position in the frame. Color in the birds combs is very nice......well done

Lovely subject in awesome habitat. I do like your composition here. Your critical focus appears to be on the bird's body rather than the head, and I would like to see its head sharper. Did you use your center point on the bird's head in this image, and then recompose to make sure the head was sharp?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Marina here is the focal point, I tend to select the points as the subject moves or when I get time depending upon how active the subject is

[Marina Scarr]

I stand corrected.

[Jonathan Ashton]

I stand corrected.
No problem Marina you made a good point and I agree the head does not appear to be as sharp as the tail feathers.
