I can't say the light was in my favor on this one but light has been so hit and miss here lately I was glad for any at all. This was from a blind and the bird nearly came in too close for the frame

Perfect exposure and focus and I love the pose, James.

Fine detail, great pose, and nice BG complimenting the gray perch bark.

Extremely great closeup IMO! Striking detail and wonderfully natural colors, and a great BG. Just for my opinion, if you don't mind, I would like to see just a tad more space behind and below the bird's tail. But that's a very minor nit.

Very nice closeup details James!
Great POV, catchlight, and curious pose too
