WOW! An exceptional capture. The techs, sharpness and pose are top shelf. I might play with a tad more canvas on the right for him to look into. :toast:

Beautiful pose and excellent detail, David. I'm seeing a bit of what looks like digitization jitter in the plumage details of the larger image. If this isn't a crop, then you might want to back off on the sharpening a bit. Lovely image.

Wonderful subject well captured David. I agree with John that the comp would be enhanced by some additional real estate, but terrific as posted.

David,
Another great post and the centered composition works well for me and resembles your Kingfisher post which seemed to work well for everyone, hard to argue with success. The perch, the pose and the BG are all perfect and you handled the harsh lighting well. The over all composition seems a tad bright on my monitor and needs to be darken overall just a bit, IMO. :cool:
