Hi Andy,

I'd love a crack at one of these! The head looks a tad soft to me as if the focus was off slightly, such as the wing! Nice capture nonetheless!

Hi Andy,

Looks sharp to me, but could do with more saturation, looks a little washed out as is. Other than that well exposed with the whites and I like the composition.

Regards

Rob

Agree with Rob on this Andy, and I think if you could get a slightly cooler WB then the iridescence in the back plumage might show up a tad more.

Nice to see one though, and a nice comp matey

Looks pretty sharp on my screen but, personally, I'm not so keen on the 'widescreen' crop for this image.

Nice shot Andy, I can never get anything decent of these. I must have put fifty shots in the bin yesterday.
