Nice little guy on a wire. It would have been better if the head had been turned more toward the camera and I'd also try to remove the noise in the BG. Was this a big crop? The composition and dark BG are nice.

More head turn towards the camera meant no catch light.. It was about a forty percent crop.. out the car window in a forest..area along the road..I felt I was quite close.

Hi Pat. I agree with the head angle and BG noise. I ran Noise Ninja on your image with some extra strong noise reduction and have uploaded it here. It looks better to me, what do you think? Dan Brown

Yes that looks good in the head area Dan thanks..and a much better bg
