Nice calling pose and the environment works nicely. I would sharpen the bird's head some more.

Nice one , calling pose a big plus
exposure looks nice

Hi Chris, I like this calling pose with the open beak, and the light looks nice and soft, which in turn shows up the plumage.

Great calling pose, nice perch an bg which offer a terrific comp. Seems just a bit on the reddish side, but that's probably the time of day.

Hi Chris, calling pose already mentioned but it is a good one, like the rock perch and the BG.

Cheers Keith.

Another nice looking calling pose of this guy. The exposure and the colors look great. A bit more sharpening will help this nice frame.

Thanks for looking and comments,agree upload looks like it could do with some more sharpening.
