Don't know what to say about this one Phillip. An interesting pose and action moment, well captured. But a slightly uncomfortable feel to it overall that I can't put my finger on.

Hi Phillip

I really like the pose/action and compostion, especially the way the bird is looking out from underneath it's wing. I also like the vivid brick red that is showing in it's tail - I don't think I have ever seen this illustrated so well. The only negative thing for me is the light, it is a little flat, but you can't do anything about that!

Unusual angle Phillip, I like it, a little highlight in the eye would have set it off really nicely :)

An original take on this bird-if only a bit more light

Agree with the comments so far, shows some of the features that you don't normally see very well gives the image a lot of merit IMO.
