I had the opportunity to get close to this bird last Saturday morning. The image was captured at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida.

Hi Joe, great details in good light and BG. Since the bird is looking left (our left), if you have more space on the left, that would be nice I think. Loi

This portrait works so well against that stunning green BG, and it's a fun pose. You have great feather details here. I would personally prefer some off of the right and some more on the left if you have it.

Hi James, you and I think alike, here is my edit and repost after reading the comments.

Thank you all for viewing, commenting and offering suggestions to improve the image, truly appreciated.

I only had the opportunity once to photograph this species, and I had a blast doing so. Excellent portrait, well exposed and sharpened. The repost(s) really give this image the compositional balance it needed and deserves. You caould try a version with a slightly warmed up WB.
