Taken theother day,the light was not the best,and the bird is a bit drab in its winter plumage,come on spring,cannon5D111,CANNON500MM IS,L,F4,1/4EXT,700MM FL,resting on bean bag on old farm wall,cropped,sharpened for web,CB,touch of levels,ISO2500,F5.6,1/500S.
This is a redo with some SAT,to give the drab colors a lift,what do you think.
I do think the SAT one just gives it a lift, I like this bird in it's habitat, really nice natural shot Chris.

A pleasing capture Chris. I think you might need to remove the cyans and blues in the white collar and small wing bar. I'm OK with the first presentation. nice work.
First looks better to me.Chris. Just my sort of habitat shot. Like this a lot.

Lovely image, love the natural surrounding.
I like the loose composition, setting, sharpness and complimentary BG. I like the OP the best. Very well done Chris.
Excellent capture of this beauty, Christopher. Very nice overcast light. Like the habitat and complimentary BG.

Hi Christopher, very nice shot! Another bird I have never seen :) I like the OP better and agree with Adrian regarding the cyan/blues seeming a little off (unless that is the natural colouring of the bird?). I love how the vegetation is mostly in the focal plane, yet the background is blurred.
