Tony, this is one totally awesome capture and presentation of this fine avian, and it deserves its place, either in Nat Geo or Birds and Blooms magazine. Very well done, and love the background! Your details of the bird are superlative. F/V on this perfection in shooting!

Thank You for your very kind and generous compliment Randy. These are the conditions I strive for, especially when the light is good, and the animals cooperative.
