    Fine detail Richard - nice exposure and I too like the grasses. regards composition - I think you have it - the bird is too central - suggest a crop on the left.

    Yep, cropping some off the left is the way to go. Lovely grasses as you point out, and i like the low angle. Good pose - and nice bit of iridescence on the shoulder. Too bad about the dried branches in the BG though, and although I don't mind the yellow spots I'd tone down the one in URC just to minimize its' presence.

    Good job!!
