Possibly a bit more space to the right of frame, and I do wish that he was looking slightly to the right.

But what a great capture - backlight is great and I love the tail though there are some odd 'disconnected bits' there; you been using the clone tool or something Dale?

No Clone tall Andy.
If you could see a bigger version it is just movement in the tail.

A great shot - like Andy I'd prefer a slight head-turn - but a stonking image nonetheless. :toast:

Beautiful backlighting here Dale, very slight nits covered and love the curly tail feathers.
