Nice looking back pose and good composition, Chris.

Nice one Chris. Good POV, pose and BG. I like the detail on the bird and really love that perch

Hi Chris. Yes good to see them back. I always think the duller females are more photogenic the the males for some reason. As Will says- great perch. Nice all around. Has prompted me to get off my backside and get to my local site.
Cheers

Thanks for looking and comments.

The perch and BG are really nice, and the soft light really helped here. I like the look back but I wish for more head turn towards us

Hi Chris,a little more head turn would have been a bonus but still a very nice image,do like the stormy looking BG.
