    Jon:

    Cute fellow, like the foot up, good angle in frame, good shooting angle.

    Nice sense of the environment.

    I might try a version with 15-20% of the free space off the top, just personal preference.

    Cheers

    Nice natural setting and excellent pose with one leg pulled up.

    Excellent image with spectacular pose with raised foot, beautiful colors, details and very nice habitat. Superb composition.
    Love the frame, Jonathan.

    Hi jonathan , stunning IQ for that combo ,.
    Like the overall image design and the subtle colors and tones . Great low POV . I might add slight mid tone for more tonal depth , if this was mine .

    Hi Jon, another great low shooting angle here, and just love the tucked in foot. Great light and IQ, well exposed, sharp, and if anything, I would take a bit off the bottom to remove the bit of OOF grasses LRC.

    Your best to date from this sighting.

    I love the habitat, good pose, and nice colours. Excellent details. I'd be tempted to crop a bit more top and left, but if left as is I'd eliminate the dust spot near the top.

    Excellent image Jonathan! The repost is what I had in mind when I viewed your OP. I like the IQ, raised foot, eye clarity, setting and composition.

    Great looking frame with nice feather detail and great colors. I like the foot up pose and the eye contact. The re-post looks even better. Well done.
