Wow. Pose, exposure, sharpness, color, bg and perch... all first rate I say.
Don't change a thing for me Bill... I like it. :)

Kenn (...Just amazing to me that they could tuck that much leg and foot so completely away btw... looks like an amputee)

Stunning image in all aspects!
I am also an A700 user and got my 70-400G just yesterday. I hope i can approach this level with my images.

Overall I like it too, but there are some clone marks to clean up at base of perch. Good exposure and pose!

Ha wow again... good eye Daniel! :)

Thanks guys! I removed the clone marks as per Daniel's sharp eye. Reposted in place of original.
Peter: I've been very happy with the Sony 70-400G, which I've had close to a year. regards~Bill

Nice exposure control, BG, and colors. I like the one-legged pose. Just wish for a tad more HA, though I like the sleepy look.

Another wow from me William! Beautiful capture all around... the only thing I can possibly suggest/wish for is perhaps a little more room along the bottom, but that is waaay minor. :) Congrats on a fantastic image.

The detail on the white plumage is excellent. I like it a lot.

lovely BG ,pose overall a good shot

Hey Bill - I'm a little late on this one but I still wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful shot. Your composition is to my taste and light and color are gorgeous. Well done!!!!!!!!!

Excellent shot Bill, As most have mentioned - everything indeed is perfect about the shot. I like the frame, the exposure (details on whites are amazing)...its a lovely one.

Super pose Bg and expo. fantastic detail.
