Interesting bird, nice detail, low angle and BG is pretty good too. just wish for slightly better HA. might crop for bottom a bit more.

Great low angle and lighting Gerard. I also like the earthy background tones and the slightly raised rear foot.
I can't recall seeing a better image of this species.

Nice one Gerard - good to get the typical raised tail and I love the background.

cheers

Excellent - I like the pose and head-turn, low perspective and beautiful colours of the background.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Nice low angle, sharpness and exposure. perhaps a bit too centered IMO. JR
