    Hi James, I would have posted this as soon as I got home. Superb dorsal view, and love the hint of the orange colour amongst the darker plumage. I like the fanned tail, and overall, well captured.

    Love the top side view. Great sharpness. In a perfect world, the head would have been turned just a bit. Not a perfect world, but a great picture.

    I figured you had a couple of images lurking around your hard drive. Love the sharpness! A perfect head turn towards you would have been the icing on the cake, but it's still a keeper.

    Superb topside view James. Love the fanned tail and would be very happy with this. A tickle on the contrast may make it pop even more. Nicely done.

    Agree with all comments already made. I love the worn out look on some of the feathers, adds character. Congrats

    I love this shot, so much detail to explore. IMO the lack of head turn adds to the pic because the bird is shown just going about its business. I would have liked a little more detail shown on the breast.

    Although I would give this one more contrast, I really like it a lot. Pose, angle, detail, light and species looks very very nice! Congratulations!
