A nice looking bird but not a great photo. The image is quite overexposed and I am not fond of cutting off this poor guys foot. Good luck in the contest.

thank you. Not sure what over exposed is, as it is just a click on a camera. I am not a professional photographer. The foot I was sad about, but he was part of a larger park photo and I hadn't any other close ups of birds, and as there are just none about in the city at the moment, so, as I loved the way he holds his neck in a coy way as we watched him, I thought to enter it.
