Excellent capture of a beautiful bird, Daniel. Your choice of DOF was perfect to keep the bird in sharp detail but set apart against a nicely blurred background.

Very nice capture. Great light and pleasing composition.

A fine capture Daniel. Such a lovely species to begin with and with this light your subject looks great. A crop off the right to vertical would take this to the next level.

I'm envious. I can't take a look at one of these birds without it flushing to the next county
