Laying on the ground behind my car made it posible to make this photograph.

I like this a lot. I can't think of a way to improve it.

Great angle, use of DOF and details. I might crop a bit off the top and bottom and might raise the color temperature. It looks as if there is a slight blue cast.

Well done and sharp. And I bird that I would love to see somewhere some time... I like the distant trees.

You are under arrest by the HAP--the head angle police... With the bird angled slightly towards you the very best head position would have been had the bird been looking straight ahead, that is, had its head on straight... The horizon line through the neck is a problem but not sure what you could have done about it...

later and love, artie

I could dig a hole to get a much lower position?:) Thanks fore the comments.

Good plan but you have already lost a lot of the legs to the grass.. If you went any lower you might even obscure part of the body...
