    Lovely light, colours, perch, BG, sharpness and wing pose - a little more eye contact would have been nice

    Ditto Tony's comments - really gorgeous light and Killer BG - as mentioned some more eye contact would have put this over the top :)

    As you say perfect conditions, super light. Good feather detail, well exposed, nice BG and vivid colours. Ditto Tony on eye contact. Well processed and presented.

    I like the clarity in this, together with the amazing light and colours. Great timing for the landing too. Congrats Rick.

    I like the pose, perch, details and BG. Aside from lightening the eye, I would work on the catchlight since it looks somewhat large and out of place.
