The exposure, sharpness and colors look good to me. The composition is kind of tough for this one. I'm wondering if cropping a bit more from the top would improve...like a pano.

Hi Lance:
Super capture. Only thing I would like is a 1px grey, or light version of beak color border around it

Love the overall simplicity of another of your great bird photos.

Thanks for sharing.

Gus :)
