I like this version with more space to the right and the fact that it is an adult bird showing better plumage,perch is what it is as I well know from my Snipe hunting they land on whatever they like,nice tidy bg a very nice image all in all Joe.

Nice looking bird with perfect HA. The perch is what it is. A higher ISO might have given you a better DOF.

Joseph, nice bird, nice pose, nice eye contact, bit on the warm side, a little adjustment and the BG and whites would pop a bit more.
