Love the head turn and open beak. Composition works for me very well. I find the BG a little busy but that's their habitat.

Thanks for sharing!

Great pose Neil. A bit tight on the right for me.

Nice light & liked the open beak. Nice sharp image with good details.

Very nice timing and I love the alert pose and open beak. I do find the image to be a bit tight on the right. Congratulations on a lovely capture Neil and thanks for sharing.

Very nice pose and the open beak is great. Nice light and sharp details. Since the bird is teed up, I don't mind the included rocky bg. Nice capture.

I like the BG very much as it doesn't distracts and at the same time tells us something about these bird's enviromet, very nice light and head turn, open bill is a plus! Congratulaitons!
