looks nice in terms of perch, pose mood but noise has taken away from IQ and feather details, I would have opened the aperture and drop the ISO here. TFS

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Nice capture of this behavior, the bird looks like a juvenile. I also like the angle and eye contact. It looks as if you could have gotten away with a lower ISO. As is, I would run NR on the BG.

Another vote for noise reduction on the BG, a bit too busy. Burning the edges of the frame darker will minimize that. TFS.
