Hi all, Another photo from my trip to Antigua.

The first time I've seen this bird, very cute fella and very very small, so I was happy to get this close to him.
Hope you like it C&C welcome.

Absolutely beautiful shot, nice and sharp with perfect exposure, I love the catchlight in his eye! This is entirely subjective and extremely nit picky on my part, I would wish for a bit less of a square crop, maybe less space on top but I sure wish I had taken this one, it's a beauty! :-)

Thanks Ed.

Downy, I'm going to try and re-crop tomorow, cropping has always been my fault, thanks for the advice.
