Wow! Dan, you nailed that one nicely. Nice and sharp with a great bokeh. What a handsome specimen.

Great capture, its a good feeling when you photograph a bird that you have long wanted to take a picture of! Nice catch light as well.

What's not to like, Dan. It looks great to me. Very nice image. Crisp, clean, and beautiful color. Well done.
