Hi Stuart,

I really like the perch and background of this shot, as well as the details and hues on the bird.

I am coming to learn, from comments to some of my posts, when the bird is cropped a little close to the edge. In this case the tail seems close, a bit more room on the left side would be great, if you have it.

The "bird looking away" pose does not seem ideal to some people, but I can see you did quite well with the opportunity you had :)

Thanks for sharing this shot Stuart!
