Gorgeous capture, Troy. Wonderful light and pose. Maybe a bit more room in front (if its head was up, that bill may just extend frame, as is!)

[Mike Milicia]

Nice light and excellent detail!
Great job with the exposure ... can be a challenge to keep the reds in check with these guys in warm light.

[Humberto Ramos]

Great shot, for me is just great, I would not change anything...

[Jim Fenton]

Beautiful creature and beautiful light. Perfect exposure to my eyes.

A hint of a catchlight would have made it a hair better perhaps but I know it doesn't always happen in long light like this.
