    Lovely bird, pose, perch and BG, Simon. Being a fan of tighter crops, I would take a smidge off the top and right but lovely as presented

    Wow! Everything to love about this one. Incredible BKGR--what was it? (Looks like a gray card.) Love the raised foot not to mention a killer bird.

    Artie asked Incredible BKGR--what was it? The bird was photographed on a open grey/blackish-trunked eucalypt flat also on grey soil and it blurred with this result.

    Great details, pose and BG. I might lighten the parts of the plumage that are not sunlit a bit.
