Nighthawk on a Stick

[Layton E Parham]

Branch below the Nighthawk reminds my wife of a hand giving sign language! Anyone know the meaning?

Is that the "I Love You" branch?


Neat bird, and I like the unusual framing with the environment. My only change would be to eliminate the sharpening halo in front of the breast.

[Juan Aragonés]

Too much sharpenning here Layton and I suggest to crop the OOF vertical branch at the right of the image.

Pose and exposure look good. Another vote for removing the trunk.

[Paul Ricciardi]

+1 on removing the trunk to the right
Other than that it looks good, nicely exposed, good head angle
