Looks interesting fred...
personally I try and avoid getting shots of the rear end of the animal and I like to get a bt more of the head showing, especially because the colour contrast oaths is the contrast between the white body and the orange beak.. Plus as it is a zoom, backing that out a little would give it a bit more context.

this is great. one of things that im hoping for is to grow in my pic ability, especially, in "seeing better". so i hope you all will indulge me. thanks

I think it's fine, what with the bird looking right at the camera.

Nicely done in my opinion.
