Focus, light, BG composition are all over the top on this one. The detail is amazing.

Good job on maintaining the detail in the whites.

It's all been said, Dave. You are really tearing them up with the new 300D

A nice job all around. Great detail in the whites, nice angle, and a perfect BG.

Thanks for those very kind comments.

Since calibrating our monitor a couple of days ago, I think I need to go back and redo all our images again. This one seems a tad dark now

Lovely neck and head poise. Excellent comp and I like that light patch of BG near the tip of it's bill, kind of draws my eye, like a star filter on a source of light.
