This was my first time having an opportunity to photograph a Rusty. Beautiful plumage!

Lovely bird, Jody. I love the range of colours and that eye. The BG work well but I would be tempted to darken the pale zig-zag through it. May be tempted to crop a tiny bit off the top and right.
Superb plumage textures and color on this bird Jody. I think that you can crop a little bit from the right and the top. Glad to hear that you are back on bird photography :-)
