Wonderful pose and nice plumage. Perhaps a little over saturated. Sharon

Nice pose and good way to show off the yellow slippers. There's a wedge of gray below the wing and just behind the leg that looks like a missed selection in post processing.

I like the pose, Scott, and the exposure looks right on. Sweet image.
