    Great detail on the beak, especially the water droplet!
    The bit of dirt in front of the birds right leg is a little distracting. I would prefer a larger DOF to see more detail on the whole bird

    Nice low angle too :)

    Nice low angle, good to see this so full in frame, which isn't everyone's cup of tea though.

    Framing is fine with me. These birds love to stay in the junk and weeds so this is pretty darned good for this family. I do like the raised foot. With the bird angled towards us having the head on a bit straighter (turned a bit more toward us) would be nice.

    Nice light and I like the raised foot. Also like the little drop of water on the bill.

    Great close up, and I like the walking posture with the raised foot. The droplet on the end of the bill adds interest, and I would maybe remove one of the catchlights in the eye.
