   Great shot. The backlighting and the softness of the reflected light really gives the shot a studio feel. and the beak looks as though its made of Brass!!!

   I am delighted. My goodness its just a good shot and the details are just perfect. the subject is in place and the framing by the wings and the blurred background are very good.
