Sweet light, sweet bird, sweet image. The grasses are just the right height. Perfect head angle.

Fabulous Kevin, such a beautiful image with the pink hues... As Artie said, grasses are the rught height and i like the pattern as it fades in the BG, well done!
Quite striking. Love the bird looking towards the sunrise, framing.
I find the grasses a bit too bright and washed out, and might try a version with them toned down a bit, pull a bit more detail out of them. Just personal taste really.
