    I love this image! The positioning and he details are very good. I specially like this images were I can imagine that the bird seems is reflecting, perhaps because I identify it with myself, as my moments alone in the wild are normally very reflective (sorry if I'm getting too personal in this appreciation)
    It really is a bit dark, but I don't think that's underexposed. I would like to hear comments about this from the more experienced naturographers

    This is a beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. Similar but complimentary BG colors, IQ is great, very nice expression on the bird's face. The image is slightly dark but I like the mood it creates. I'd imagine this is close to full frame seeing the distance you were from the bird, but I'd like a sliver more room on the left and a tad taken off the top. I also wouldn't be afraid to push the ISO a bit more if I were in this spot.

    Excellent image of juvenile one with nice pose. Beautiful colors and BG colors is very nice complimenting with his head colors. I like the composition.

    Lovely light on the bird. It's soft enough not to seem harsh, but still brings out the feather details.
