Ken,
once more I have to say that you have a very wide range of species photographed and this image proves it again. Well done.

Lovely bird and perch. It looks like the light was not very forgiving, but you made the most of it.

Gorgeous plumage on this bird, Ken, and a nice composition with good detail.

Beautiful bird, super composition and great exposure under harsh light. A joy to behold.

Nice pose on this one Ken. Not sure how much you tried selectively lighting up the heavy shadows on the bird, but it might help balance the light out a little more.
