Great wing position Jon. I like how the bird sits in the clear area between the vegetation at the top and bottom of the frame. Sharpness could be a little better. Judging by the hot whites in the tail feathers, you could have gone with less + EC and a resulting faster shutter speed; that may have gotten you sharper. Still a nice image.
Jeez, I posted to this killer image but it did not load. I love the bird, the wing position, and the colors and soft light. And those hanging feet. Way to go!
And the foreground and BKGR are killer too.
