    I like the pose, perch and tight composition. I don't know if its over sharpened a touch or its my eyes. I would maybe try another version with the sharpening backed down a tad. I have only seen these guys once on Merritt Island. Thanks for sharing this image Joe.

    I like this picture Joe, and looks like you saved the best for last. Pose, composition and details are great. Looks like the light was a little harsh and is probably causing what Jim is referring to, also this had happened to me when I apply detail extractor and then another sharpening after resizing, but nothing major that cannot be fixed. Thank you for sharing.
