Beautiful shot of a much overlooked bird

Great PoV Alan :toast:

As Jim said - much overlooked - and such a good looking subject :wavey:

Light wasn't doing you all the favours it could was it..

If it was mine I might knock the contrast down just a teeney bit, and give it a dash of S/H adjust to try and pull something out of the black area under the beak - being careful with the highlights radius so's not to lose the left side highlights......just my thoughts :wavey:

Nice shot Alan, despite of the harsh light.

Hi Alan,

Nice capture. Must say that I like the angle that you took this shot. Andy's right about the harsh lighting - shame.

Nits covered, I like the eye and the PoV.
