This photo represents not only what I've learned as far as getting low and sneaking up on my subject, but also on my photoshop skills as I added a bit of canvas on the bottom and left side. Thanks to all for helping me along the way.

Fabulous capture Luke. The comp and detail are excellent, but I also think that the environment surrounding this bird makes the image that much stronger. Well done!

I love the low angle and the look he/she is giving the camera. I remember when you first posted this bird. What an amazing find.

Nicely done Luke...the PS work isn't noticeable.
