Hi Jonathan,
welcome to one of your seldom visits here.You should post more often.
Love this simple image with good colors, tonality and the rest in same quality.Like the low POV and the eye contact, with the really good HA.
EXcellent detail on the monitor .
If you have i would like to see more room on bottom instead of the top.

Hi Jonathan, I would echo Andreas thoughts & observations and if you have more space below then a 16 x9 could also work and in keeping with your OP? Where was this taken, looks more like over here than an exotic location?

The image was taken in The Gambia, the monitor is wild and free, the location is the hotel grounds,
Looked a little too well manicured, thanks Jonathan.

Hi Jonathan - repost is an improvement with the additional room below. Nice detail and sweet bokeh. Low pov also works great.

Hi, I like your repost, it's better with more ground. love the colours and details. I think Steve misread, I saw your SS was 1/600, so you couldn't really lower the ISO. overall, well done!!!

Sorry - just testing it was 1/1600 sec, the reason for that was the camera was set up for flight shots and this scenario presented itself without notice..... and the IS doesn't work on my 100-400 so I wanted to ensure I got a sharp image especially when it was against that background, the opportunity was unlikely to represent itself.

nice low angle and profile here Jonathan
to my eye the eye/beak look a tad softer than the neck?? was it angled? perhaps a slight increase in sharpening there will be fitting

Hi Jon, good detail and colours on this fellow, and just love how he pops from the BG. I like Steve's repost in pane # 7, but with your space above in pane # 4.
