Very nice Sandy , great detail and good pose but maybe a little to centered?.

Excellent detail and the dark bird works surprisingly well against the bright bg.

What a cool looking little bird and one not seen to often, actually it's the first time I have seen one posted. Great job on the exposure as it has killer detail in the dark feathers. I too like it against the light BG although I might consider toning down the plant a bit. Nice work.

Sandy I agree about perhaps toning down the grasses a little bit, the bird stands out beautifully against that bg and is spot on sharp and full of detail, very nice piece of work.
