Hi Mark, I like it, esp. the sharpness, the bird's head turned back into the light, and the BKGR. The perch too.

For the repost, I just cropped to approx 3:2.

[Aidan Briggs]

Nice image. I like the pose and BG. The perch is a bit overpowering to me. Artie's repost improves on an already good image.

[Robert O'Toole]

I really like the earth tones and the sharpness. The Crop really make the image look much better!

Lovely image, and Arties repost is an improvement. Pretty bg and nice sharp detail.
