Superb detail on this one Andy and that eye really stands out. Lighting is nice and the only minor nit I could mention is the slightly distracting patch to the right of the birds head. Nice one. :toast:

Very nicely done. Good exposure and the eye is beautifully shown. I would darken the reed just above the head a little.
