I like the pose and perch...i know im not Canadian, but 'Happy Canada day':cheers::S3:

[Mike Milicia]

Wonderful perch and interesting pose!

Seems like bird could go a tad brighter.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice picture of a great looking bird, Gail. I wish you the same.

[Stu Bowie]

Gail, your choice of comp works well to suit the pose, and the light looks a bit overcast. Adding a touch of contrast might boost this a little more.

[Landon Starnes]

Really nice pose and comp Gail. The angle is a bit steep, but not unpleasing.
I would be happy to have this!

[Richard Stern]

Happy Canada Day too (a bit late!).
