Send him down here Maggie, I've never seen one of these.
They don't half pick some awkward places to land don't they, looks painful.
A slight head turn would've done you a favour but it's still a good natural looking shot
Well done.
Geoff.

Lovely shot Maggie though i would prefer a head turn our way. There also seems to be a tiny bit of a green cast in the image but i am hesitant to say anything on color casts these days...
greetings,

Perfectly composed and exposure looks spot on. I few have mentioned a preference to a head turn this way but I think the image has a charm the way it is. The image is made more impressive as you haven't needed a huge telephoto to get the shot.
And its full frame - hurrah!

great setting but really feel it needs the head turn to work, that said i've never got a shot of one

Nit covered , a fine shot otherwise , so you managed to get him to land then?

A very nice capture and nice to get one of these not that easy round where I live.
