Judges' comments:
Beautiful, detailed bird; great color in the beak; nice diagonal; would be nice to see the whole tail; could crop to make it more of a vertical
Maker's notes:
This photo was shot in the Florida Everglades. I used my 70x300mm lens hand held in taking this photo. I thought about removing the limb with the leaf by the bird's back side, but felt since it was in the wild Everglades the leaf and limb added to the photo as does the limb running diagonal along his body and breast area in front of him or maybe her?
