Super colour, great bird and pose, just the right size in the frame, I just feel that your subject is on the wrong side.... got to agree with Dave, either you drive a go-kart or..?..

In spite of a minor nit love the image.

Thanks for your comments the car in the sea and go-kart made me chuckle.
This image was taken on Mull where there was an abundance of multi coloured sea weed.
This was at the edge of a sea loch and the sea weed was draped over several large rocks, hence the low view point. Had the bird been directly on the floor I would most certainly have been looking down on it. My only regret was that I didnt spend more time at this site.
