Lovely shot Phil. Great pose and detail and the open bill is a bonus. A bit of a shame that dark line going into the back of his head, but thats a tiny nit on a great shot!

Very nice. You were lucky to have him perch away from any fg/bg clutter.

Lovely shot Phil although I would be tempted to try and do something with that dark line that Billy pointed out. Would suit a portrait crop as well, although there is nothing wrong with this one. Eric
Beautiful shot! The dark line doesn't actually bother me at all. Isn't it strange how different things affect different people? I agree portrait would work well too, especially if it would include more of that nice seed.
