Catch light makes this a great shot. ( along with everything else). Birds are tough but you nailed this one!

I would like to see more of it's eyes. That being my only nit of an otherwise cool shot.

The only thing I could be ultra picky about would be the top set of berries being half in, half out of the frame. I think you could burn the dark side of it's belly to lighten it up a bit but all in all, for the real world, it's dang nice.

That's a classic shot, David. I love the detail you captured in the breast feathers, along with the previous comments about the light on the tail feathers.

Beautiful David; this species is so elegant. I agree with Erik, a slight dodge of the eye would add.
