I like the ruffled feathers on the neck, details, sharpness and composition. A better HA would have been nice but you take what you get. Well done Joe!

Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting. Regarding the head angle, I agree maybe a touch more towards me. I was constrained by the boardwalk and other photographers, so moving a little to my left was not possible. Also I would have lost the patch of blue sky for the background. Thanks again everyone, very much appreciated.

Lovely detail and well exposed, Joseph. Beautiful colours, nice and sharp, I like the composition as well, image well processed and presented

Kind regards,
