beautiful head details,eye contact,wing position

[Aidan Briggs]

Great wing position, eye contact, and exposure. I would clone out the little stub at the base of the branch.

[Arthur Morris]

Great pose and the light handled well. An amazingly good head angle as well. My only wish is that the tail tips were clear of the perch. Yes to losing the little stub.

Super timing and sharpness. Exposure spot on. Well done Chris :)

[Chris Kotze]

Apologies for the late reply I've been a bit busy. :)
Thanks for all the comments and advice it's much appreciated. I will remove the little stub on my copy thanks.

Another stunning roller image Chris. I agree on the stump.
