Hi James,

Gorgeous light and composition. Nothing else to say!

Great perch, pose, details and BG. You probably could have stopped down to f/11 or so for wider DOF.

Nice image and interesting setting. First I thought the right perch is a bit dominant but it isn't.
Like the sharpness on the eye and face.
