Nice detail for a black bird! I find myself a bit confused by the extra small branch off the larger one - I cannot tell if the bird is using it with one foot (I think not) or if it is just sticking into the bird's chest. I think I would get rid of that.

Yes too bad about that extra branch, and even more of a concern, IMO, is the bird looking away. Good job on the blacks, and the BG is superb. Now you got to get this guy facing you, or at the very least to swing is head over to at least parallel to the sensor:)
