Great shot! I like the stretched out neck so he can reach that spot.

Excellent shot Alan,

I love this shot. No comments on light, framing, etc, but I'm not sure it is sharp. The breast looks sharper than the head to me. Could be wrong as we only see a small version....

Cheers

Peter

I can't add anything - beautiful colors - the preening pose - the setting - just gorgeous!( Where did you find those beautiful spears of grass to set him into?:)) Terrific, Alan!

Nice one. Soft light, great color, and a relaxed bird doing something that comes naturally. Makes for one great image.

Beautiful preening pose with the head and neck exactly perpendicular to the torso.
