    Wow, lucky you !!!! I'd love a little more room at the top if you have it. Beautiful bird and I'm sure some will disagree, but I love the speculart highlights in the background.

    Fabs and Artie, a peculiarity of me using too much foreground :D Of course you are right, I wish to have more space above on this image.

    All the best
