Hi Paul, well framed between the fork of the perch, and you have exposed this fellow nicely, bringing out the blacks very well. Good HA, and DOF, and I like the painterly effect of the BG. Maybe a touch tight LLC.

The eye looks great, it appears to be pretty harsh light and you did well holding the blacks.
