Nice IQ, colors and pose, details and light, Jon. I really like the perch here too. Not bad from the car window. Well done.

That one very good car window shot Jon,nice pose and the detail is spot on,cracking bg to sit it all on.would not change a thing.

Car as blind works a lot for me and yours is exceptional. Nice fine detail and the placement and perch are super

[Matthew Jones]

That's a cool bird and perch, I like the way the plane of focus extends toward the camera, top and centre.

Hi Jon, hard to think I was also shooting the same subject in the reeds some 5500 miles away .

Like the composition and almost neutral BKG colour, gives nice separation. Is this a large crop, the soft detail looks a bit contrasty with the black shadow elements and the eye looks/appears a to have a little more PP on it??

Thanks very much everyone, not a large crop Steve and yes I routinely tweak the eye but I quite liked it now you have me thinking maybe just a little bright

[Steve Kaluski]

now you have me thinking maybe just a little bright

Just a tad IMHO.

The brightness looks perfect on my calibrated 5K monitor. I love the Pose and the colors in this one. Great-looking details and I really like the perch and the background. Maybe a little off the top but otherwise a Great looking Frame. Good job shooting out of the car, I do a lot of it.
