Apart from being a bit tight on the LHS, a nice image of an underrated bird!

Yeah, a bit tight as Paul said but still a good shot.
Well done.

Geoff.

It is a nice shot, colour is good could just do with a bit more room on the left

Agree with Lefthand side but nice image nevertheless.

The biggest nit has been mentioned, depending on your views on these things perhaps tone down the dark area in front of the bird...

Very nice image of a very nice species not seen often enough...

Nits covered Adam, and watch out for your backgrounds too - always try to choose a fairly uniform one if you can.

Nits covered, but still a good shot of a species that continues to elude me.

Thanks for your feedback I have resubmitted the image with the suggested crop . Im afraid my Cs3 skills at the moment don't allow me to change the solour of the background without making it look very obvious! I have had a go at cloning out the dark spots but Im not convinced it doesn't look obvious.

A much better crop on this one Adam and if I'm honest I think I prefer the pose on this one as well.
