Thanks for looking.

Nice composition, Mike. Focus is spot on, and the background is clean.

Thanks John!

Excellent shot.
I think I might like it better if the DOF covered the whole bird though. A slightly OOF tail isn't a big deal...but I just think it would make it that much better.

I agree 100%, unfortunately I'm always trying to balance OOF background and having the bird in 100% focus.

Thanks Mike. (Is there an echo?)
