Very nice Kim,

The other one must be the female, it was out of camera range, but fluffing up feathers ballet dress style - will post that later :wavey:

Hi Kim

You captured this at just the right moment - love it. If this is a crop I would give a little more room below his feet!

Great timing Kim, good to see a different pose for his bird. A fraction more space wouldn't hurt too as DK has mentioned. Perhaps next time you might like to consider upping your ISO to give yourself a better SS. :wink:

I agree its lovely to see a different pose. Nice feather detail and lovely eye. Is it displaying or mooning? :biggrin:

Many thanks for the comments and advice which is appreciated - I have given it more space at the top and bottom as suggested. :toast:

First one nice, second one much better. That extra space at the top makes all the difference.
