Nice calling pose with good bird and head angles. Angle a little too steep for my liking, though. Some more contrast will help, I think.

Great bird and nice calling pose. perch a bit large and messy (cluttered), and I agree the angle is a little steeper than I prefer. In PS, going to "Selective Color" and adding lots of cyan to the blue channel greatly improves the color of the sky.

I think daniel's suggestion is worth trying as the sky seems to have a funny color cast to it. Love the pose but find the busy perch a bit distracting.

Kaustubh, Daniel, Joe,

Thanks much for the comments. I see the issues now which helps a lot...
