    Nice details and pose I also like the subtle green bg....The composition as a whole doesn't bother me but the
    vegetation in the lower left corner keeps drawing my eye away from the subject.I think you could add a touch more USM!!! to bring out more detail.....

    A nice detailed image of a "not so popular" bird. Good pose, eye contact, and exposure. It would have been nice if the OOF grasses hadn't been behind the tail.
