Love the breeding plumage and very nice details, particularly in the face. There appears to be deselection post processing marks (halo) around the bill and head of the bird....there is also a slight straight edge to right of the bird's bill...and overall, I'm wondering about that background....what did it look like before post processing? Some of the white highlights in the bird's plumage look a little toasty...
