Hi Joe, good DOF, and we have a great top view of the shape of the bill. Ive always liked the colours on these guys too. I just wish for more visible eyes.
I like the preening pose and colours, but I think a vertical would have been better in this situation with more room above and more reflection below. I also agree with Stu about the eyes.
