As a huge fan of tight portraits, this one ticks many if not all of the boxes for me. I love the faint lines in the bill, and the view of the sun rising above the tree line in the eye. The Ring-billed Gulls are looking spiffy up here right now too...but these guys look even better!

Artie, I think this classifies as a 'portrait' :-) And a mighty fine one at that!
It's spot on in all facets for me. Beautiful color on the subject, exposed nicely, fabulous textures and details.... that eye-ring is amazing.
Further, a slight transition in the bottom of the bkg really adds. Well done my friend!

just lovely. The best part for me was you adjusting your POV for the anchored green, without it not as interesting to me. The texture of the head feathers is outstanding, I can almost feel the smooth silkines. Love the eye ring and that red beak. Super!

About as perfect as it gets. Fits your style perfectly, tight, graphic, exposure spot on, detail superb. Thank you for sharing, Artie.
