    Great shot, I like the pose and the colours all look good with nice detail in the blacks and whites. You have managed good eye contact and the light is nice with no major shadows hitting the bird. A top image.

    Nice BIF.

    Just wondering if a slightly different comp, raising the bird would improve the BG (by removing the top bit)?
