Very nice Tim. Love how the bird is perched on to the forked branch. Good detail, HA and what an eye.

Great looking frame Tim. I like the splayed pose and the nice details along with the nicely mottled BG colors.
Cool red eye too. Well done

Dandy catch Tim. Its interesting how birds make use of the structure available to them in perching. Your BG colours here are a perfect setting for the plumage of this fellow.
