Really attractive bird Kevin, I can see that you have experienced strong sun and shadows .... really sharpe around the eye ....... obviously the bg noise is noticeable and it depends if you care for bg NR which would smooth out the bg, reeds and all
Maybe the colours in the bird could be just slightly stronger, (not the black), but the sunlight has affected these as it has the "whites"
Lovely bird to see and another quality shot from you
