I can see your 100-300 works pretty well with the 20D. Very good composition against a perfectly blurred BG; the backview works for me here. Enjoy!

Mike, a wonderful POV on this great looking bird!
I did a ws for something to do ;-) only to emphasize one thing. Let me know what you think.
Great capture and thankyou.

Hi Mike,

This is different and therefore pleasant. I think you did great to wait for the backview. Great BG, tack sharp, well composed. Maybe the main subject is a little bit dark, but that's a minor nit. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hi Mike!
Excellent moment and composition. I like asymetric framing, dynamic pose of bird, its colours. Warm light and 'water' mood complete your great post.

An unusual and interesting photo! Perfect exposure and nice and sharp.
Perhaps you could give me a tip, Mike, what do you mean by 'highpass with a softlight'? This is obviously some post-processing. What does it do? I use Photoshop CS and CS2.

Interesting shot, but the bird is to dark.

Anna Lu's workshop shows that you had a good shot, I'm surprised you posted before revealing its true beauty.
