    Hi Bob,
    Exciting to see. A nice sharp head-on image - tricky when the bird is moving toward the camera. I like the colors and the environmental background. I feel some of the adjacent background image could go - a little off the right and more off the left.

    Nice head on pose Bob. Love the raised foot. Agree with Terry re: crop, for me this says vert. Well done.

    I am fine with the HORZ comp and the subject placement. I love the BKGR, seeing the two eyes, and the raised foot. The whole thing could go a bit brighter and the top of the head looks a bit muddy.

    Good head on capture Bob, and I like surrounding grasses of the BG, very colourful. The raised foot adds a nice touch. Maybe a little more room at the bottom.

    Interesting comp and it works well for me too. The raised foot is very cool. The image seems a little yellowish overall. Love the low angle and depicted habitat...
