I like the back lightning as you managed exposure very well, also BG is superb and compo we.. a bit more room wouldn't hurt but as presented look very nice. Congratulations!
The pose is lovely and the subject very beautiful, but the angle of the light has left the birds face in shadow, obscuring detail. A little tight in the frame, but acceptable.
Very lovely setting and I like the mood you captured here Rick. I do find the crop to be a little tight and agree it would have been nice to have had the head in a little more light but love the detail in the mating plumage and the good exposure. Many thanks for sharing.
