the colour are very nice,also nice and low angle,it is a shame that the bird do not have his head up. Have you got a shot with his head up?

Lovely composition Major. I'm not concerned that the bird has its head down in fact I find it refreshing to see these behavioural images.
Nice one

A slight head turn would be great but i like it as it is. Also nice background colours.

Quite liked the feeding posture, but must admit I dont like to see bird images without a highlight. Head up one enclosed.

I like them both Major, but I think I would go for the first if I had to choose. I like to see them doing something, especially when you get as good a pov as that :toast:
