Christopher looks like the conditions where a bit on the dull side, really like the pose and the feather details you have got.
Spent some time this year with these birds must say I did not do as well as this.

Chris it is a lovely shot I like it very much. It looks a tiny bit muddy, I have taken the liberty of adjusting the white balance:-

A very nice slice-of-life shot, I like it. The low angle and general simplicity are excellent. Jonathan's repost is an improvement on the processing, I think I would prefer it even a 1/2 stop lighter.

Hi Christopher, nice detail and lighting.. would like to of seen the birds face but I guess that's not the look you where going for :) ..

Cheers,

Merv

The original is nice but Jon's posting improved it. Love the pose, it is interesting. Nice work Chris.

Hi Chris, good behavioural shot, and I like how we can see the water flowing off the rock he is perched on. I like what Jon has done.

Thanks for looking Karl and Stuart.

A very interesting and also funny pose, Christopher! Cannot make up my mind between the OP and the RP-perhaps something in-between?

I am sure you have more on this little guy, I certainly would like to see more!!!

Kind regards,
