An interesting wing position and nice detail in this image, Dave. If you’re careful about the selection and blending, you could bring the shadowed part of the gorget up just a bit to bring out more detail in it and bring out the color.

Wow, gorgeous image here Dave, loving the detail and colors against the soft background. Appreciating the slight blur of the wings indicating movement too. Amazing clarity at 25,600 ISO!

Beautiful photograph Dave. The colors are spot on and the blur in the background really make the bird stand out. I think the crop works just fine.

Congrats!
