I like this one. The pose is nice, the color of the water and wet branch provide a nice sense of habitat, and the salmon egg gives it a nice splash of color and immediately draws you to the what's going on in the photo.
Great catch, Suzanne. Love the pose, colours, plumage detail and, of course, the egg. May be an option to very slightly burn in the brights on the branch.
Very good image, great composition, eye contact, BG and sharpness. The salmon´s egg in the bill is the ice on the cake and it tells a story about the feeding habits of this bird. :-)
