Mike this might be one of the best images you have posted I like the overall feel, great low angle, perfect head angle and its sharp. You did get some decent shutter speed here !!!

About all that would have made it stronger is light from your back, here it is coming from the left and creating a dark area on the chest area. Really neat Mike Like it a lot !!!

What a beautiful bird - well captured Mike.

Proud of you Mike...
This is your best one to date...agree with Mr. Forns on the light angle...I see that you are using 1/500sec shutter speed...big difference from the slower speeds...My only suggestion would be to crop just a hair from the bottom of the frame to eliminate some of the oof in the foreground...congratulations...:cool:
