I am truley stuned by the shot. Did you do any post-processing before submitting the image? You should submitt this for publication.

Thanks all for the comments.

Digishooter, yes I do post-processing on all my bird pics. This one was naturally colorful at capture because of the very soft, undercanopy light and long exposure. I only did minimal adjustments in contrast, levels and added some sharpening.

And at last there just aren't any more words to say more. It is a bench mark that all should aspire to, I doff my hat, Oh master. It goes into "My Favorites" post haste.
