    Dave, nice and sharp, great feather detail and I like the way the colour of the bird compliments the rock and the background. Great capture IMHO.

    A species I havent seen before Dave. Excellent exposure, and this is really sharp. Apart from the vultures, GC was kind to you with the smaller guys too.

    Gorgeous Dave - great exposure, sharpness, subject, DOF and head position. Would love this to be mine!

    Overall very nice! I agree with toning down the perch, and I would crop from bottom just enough to hide the slim extention of the perch at right as I don't feel it adds to the image. Love the pose, and the clean and slightly mottled BG.

    Lovely photograph Dave! This guy is such a nice poser! Everything perfect in this photograph. I like the soft colours in the BG especially!

    Perch is a bit bright for me too, otherwise a superb image with lots of detail and a perfect HA. Thanks mate. :)

    Thanks to all for looking and for comments/suggestions. Daniel I agree with cropping the perch.
    The persh is a light coloured sandstone but I suppose the colour could be changed.

    Great looking bird. Thanks for sharing. If anything, I would tone down the perch.
