Super shot. Love the different pose. Too bad he closed the membrane just a little but still a wonderful shot.

This bird has quite the temper! Great threat display pose and beautiful BG. Very photogenic perch. Perhaps just a bit tight in the frame, but this is a lovely image.

I love this type of portraits where you can feel some individuality in the bird. This one is great.
