Hi Graham Sweet looking bid and lovely bg !! Sharp and well exposed

Would suggest cropping the rear just into the perch and brightening the bird a bit more, looks like the light was more form the front making the back side darker !! A catchlight would have brighten the eye some !!! Like it a lot !!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good-looking specimen, eye contact and BG. I might put the bird a bit higher in the frame and agree on brightening the eye a bit.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very interesting bird and killer background. Agree about the eye and crop suggestion.

I love the bird, excellent BG too, perch appropriate,
like the visible feet. I would be tempted to straighten
the perch, it may come out OK.
