Love it Jody! I like the way you incorporated the shadow into the overall composition. Sharpness, eye contact, wing position, and DOF are all perfect. Congrats!

Great incoming pose, light, details and the shadow adds to it. Nice to see snow on a warm summer day. :)

Those eyes, Jody, are absolutely riveting!
And what a glorious capture of such an exotic bird.
This has to rank as one of your best!

Stop making me think about winter, Jodi!
Another wonderful image of a terrific species!

Brings make memories of this Fl. boy freezing his tail off chasing these suckers around this Feb. in Casselman.

Nice wing position, shadow is a bonus and the riveting eyes just go right through you. Wonderful image.
