This is great. I'm digging the full sun and cracking color! Pose is great, and I think the details held up well given the crop. Engaging pose, and the water drops coming off the feet are a nice touch. I'd clone out the reflected catchlight. But a really nice frame!

Lovely shot with great DOF, whole bird in focus from tip to toe.

Hi Andreas, Dorian, Joseph, Colin and Jonathan
Thanks for taking the trouble to view and comment on the image - appreciated. I guess a large crop is not ideal, but if the IQ holds up, I'm OK with it. That is the joy of having 45MP to play with.

Excellent IQ for that crop! Like you say - 45MP has its advantages indeed. Kinda wish for a less blotchy upper right corner, but all else checks my boxes.
