Great capture of an uncommon bird. Detail is fantastic and background perfect. Not usually a fan of big in the frame shots but like this one a lot and wouldn't change a thing.

Like James, I am no fan of large in the frame shots. However, otherwise this one is beautiful. Dare I hope that you have another less tightly framed?

Hi Phil,

Love the detail in this the size in the frame does not bother me. Fantasticly clean background that suits the image. :toast: :toast: :toast:

I wouldn't change a thin about it.

A first class capture of a uncommon species. I go for the large in frame with such detail.

Hi Phil,

Great subject, great detail, clear BKGR. I would have preferred a little more head turn towards the camera personally.

Cheers

great capture, nice BKGR, well exposed, nice and sharp. i too would like to see a little more head turn, but thats a minor nit, and out of your control..

Cracking.

I echo Austin's comment re the head turn and the shot would be strengthened by a touch more room, that said, it is a strong image with all the essential bits in tact. Nice.

Cheers,
Chris
