Nice find, complementing BG and pose. The bird could be a bit sharper for my taste.

[Fabs Forns]

Great pose, shame on the shadow of the wing. Backgound and exposure are great.

super blend of coloration John.
Agree a bit more sharpness would enhance the image, but I see that light was head on on the underside and that doesn't help create details.

nice eye
