Excellent fine detail and a curious pose, I like it. I might suggest a bit more room at the bottom, but it's a close call.

Nice angle on the bird - I'm guessing this was predive? Very nice detail throughout.

Recently I took some images of a White-crowned Sparrow which I though were pretty good but this is way better. Love the pose.

Great pose, Dan, and excellent detail. My only nit, and a very minor one, is that some of the whites on the crown look a bit hot. Beautiful image.

Perfect pose to show off that white crown. Some of the crown looks a bit overexposed.

I love the topside view of the body. Good details. I might tone down the whites just a bit on top of the head if it were mine.

The little thumbnail does not do this any justice at all. What a great pose to show off this bird! Great expression too.
