I like this it has an almost painterly quality, the lichens on the branch are also a nice inclusion.

Nice look back pose this works nice as a vertical.

Hey Joe (Jimi Hendrix pops in my head every time I write that), I too like the look back pose and the vertical comp. I like the colors in the BG and I like the inclusion of the lichen. It seems very difficult to get clean backgrounds at the B, and it looks like there might be a few oof twigs in front of the bird. Also, I like the dead center catch light in the eye.

Love the pose! I think the look back is a very underrated pose.
