Nice one Kim.
Maybe a little more canvas top and bottom and some off the right.but no big deal.
Hope youve got rid of the bug !! :frown: :frown: :biggrin:

I agree with John, but still a nice shot of an under-rated bird.

As a second comment- this pic is fine in a publishing context with room for text on the right etc,etc, but on this site the image is not posted for that, and is just too far left generally in my humble opinion- but I know nothing !

Nicely done Kim. They are great birds.

I would give it a bit more room to breathe top, bottom and left as we look at it.

Cheers

Nicely done Kim, you've caught its eye very well and there's a good catch-light. Don't its feet look huge?
I agree with Austin regarding the additional space which would really help imo.
