A good, clean shot of a sometimes difficult species to find in the open. Nice comp and background, good techs and interesting pose. Very nice.

A nice image of one of my favorite southwestern species. The lighting on the head turn make the image for me.

Tjie,
Arizona was good to you. You came back with a wonderful series of shots. Wonderful perch, great background and the bird is sharp.
