    Good job waiting for the right head turn but with the steep angle of inclination to the bird it sure would have been nice if the bird had perched facing towards you rather than away.

    Gerard, Artie's right about the steep angle but the birds is nicely exposed considering the BG you had to deal with.

    Agree with all of the above but think you did very well on your detail and exposure. This is a new species for me and I appreciate seeing it. Thanks for sharing.

    As per above comments, certainly well done on the detail and exposure though. Knowing these guys very well you've done well to freeze the action!
