    Wow, this is impressive Dan. Not crazy about the perch, but overall it is an awesome image. Great HA and eye contact! :)

    Very nice species....I wish to see one. Overall a stunning photo despite I agree Akos about the perch. Light, BG, pose, sharpness are all excellent. Congratulations.

    Do like these birds Dan. As Akos said about the perch, but everything else rocks. Great HA and eye contact. Nice one.

    Hi Dan,

    Nice image. Sharp, composition and exposure. Perch has been mentioned.

    I have a question for you re Pt. Reyes and Bodega Bay. Please check your PM.

    Thanks, JR

    Looking good Dan. You nailed the exposure, pose, sharpness, and BG. Perch could be better, but still a fine image.
