    Head is sharp with nice detail. Not much DOF. BG looks a bit funny under the bird?

    Nice pose and as mentioned head is nice and sharp, glad to see you got a few keepers from the spot. Geoff the bg is actually running water over rock.

    Tones look a bit cold to me, kind of blueish all around the photo. A lot of details, I liked the birds pose and framing a lot.

    This one would give the filleting knife a run for it's money..
    The voices in my head may not be real, but they come up with some great ideas..

    Cheers Rev.

    I like it Mike, the DOF could be better if you went to iso1600 and f8. When you are wanting the shot I find I often think just get the bird then start to think about camera settings.
