    Great shot. I like the head turn and the view from above. The blue BG is great for the yellow bill.
    Nice tail spread.

    What a visitor to have around your neighbourhood Gary. Its always good to see the dorsal view, and I like the head turn and eye contact. Well captured.

    Hi Gary. Good exposure and eye contact.
    Have you tried a slight AC rotation, may look just look beter?

    Thanks for the comments. Dave, I was in two minds. I actually shot it straighter and rotated it a little CW - thought it worked better...
