Really striking bird. The background makes him pop. I long for a little more room all around if you have it. Well done.

Excellent. Great detail and the bird stands out nicely against the contrasting background.

Superb image quality,Ken. Despite the fact that it's facing our right, I think a little more room on the left and perhaps a touch less on the right would make for a stronger composition.
