Here is a grab shot from yesterday morning.
Getting them in a open setting with nice pose is always a challenge but worth it when it all falls in place :)
Nice pose, an orange crown yet, just enough of a head turn to work, sharp, with a perfect exp. The o-o-f flower in the foreground is a double negative: it is distracting in it's own right as are nearly all o-o-f elements in front of the perch and/or the subject and it blocks the foot. All in all well done.
